## Navigating the registry with Powershell

With [Powershell](https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/about-powershell), its possible to navigate the registry:

PS C:> Set-Location Set-Location HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows

PS HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows> Get-ChildItem


    Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows

SKC  VC Name                           Property

---  -- ----                           --------

 30   1 CurrentVersion                 {%a5%81%f7%c2%5b%bc%0b%ad%56%96%ee%4a%2c%67%2e%b4%a0%bf%d2%f1%d7%2a%2b%20%9e%c0%94%7b%66%ad%64%58}

  0  12 DWM                            {Composition, CompositionPolicy, ColorizationColor, ColorizationColorBalance...}

  4   0 Shell                          {}

  2   0 TabletPC                       {}

  4  12 Windows Error Reporting        {ConfigureArchive, DisableArchive, Disabled, DisableQueue...}



Of course, typing is less verbose if the aliases `cd` instead `Set-Location` and `ls` instead `Get-ChildItem` is used.

## Navigating the registry with Perl

[Win32::TieRegistry](https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/PerlModules/tree/master/Win32/TieRegistry) makes it ease to read and write to the registry with perl.
