If you’re not a fan of the new Registry Editor (Regedit.exe), perhaps for the sole reason that it doesn’t have a status bar<\/strong>, you can get a copy of the old Regedit.exe from a computer running Windows 10 Anniversary Update, or from the ISO.<\/p>\n

Get Old Regedit.exe in Windows 10 Creators Update<\/h2>\n

Here is how to replace the new Regedit.exe with the older (v1607 — Build 14393) version.<\/p>\n

1. Download old_regedit.zip<\/a> which encloses the four files namely regedit_old.exe, regedit_old.exe.mui, replace.reg and undo.reg.<\/p>\n

\"old<\/p>\n

2. Copy regedit_old.exe to C:\\Windows. Click Continue when asked for confirmation.<\/p>\n

\"old<\/p>\n

\"old<\/p>\n

3. Copy regedit_old.exe.mui to C:\\Windows\\en-us. Click Continue when asked for confirmation.<\/p>\n

\"old<\/p>\n

4. Optionally, to replace the Regedit.exe application path to point to the older version, run the file replace.reg. So when you start the Registry Editor by typing regedit.exe<\/code> in Run dialog, the old Regedit launches.<\/p>\n

The registry file updates the Regedit.exe app paths in this registry key:<\/p>\n

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\regedit.exe<\/pre>\n
And sets the (default) value data to C:\\Windows\\Regedit_old.exe<\/code><\/p>\n
\"old<\/p>\n
To reverse the changes made by the REG file, run the file named “Undo.reg” enclosed in the zip file.<\/p>\n
You’ll see the yellow UAC dialog even though the older Regedit.exe (which is now Regedit_old.exe) is a signed Microsoft file.<\/p>\n
