Registry Jumper

Note

This is a newly updated plugin that has recently undergone several big changes. An update has been submitted to the Chrome and Edge stores and is currently pending approval. Store links may not function until the update is approved.

Overview

Registry Jumper is a Chrome/Edge/Brave extension that allows you to open selected registry keys directly in Regedit using Sysinternals RegJump. This tool is designed to streamline the process of navigating to specific registry keys by providing a context menu option in the browser.

Note

This project is based on Chrome Registry Jumper. The original project was archived in March 2024 and was removed from the Chrome Web Store. The code has undergone significant enhancements compared to the original version.

Features

• Open Registry Keys: Right-click on selected registry keys and open them directly in regedit using RegJump.
• Context Menu Filtering: The context menu option to Open in Registry Editor is only shown for valid registry keys (e.g., HKLM, HKCU). Selecting non-registry keys will not display the option.
• Automated Setup: An easy installation script to download and set up RegJump and the Chrome native messaging host.
• Enhanced Debugging: Improved debugging to help diagnose issues.

Supported Prefixes

• HKCU / HKEY_CURRENT_USER
• HKLM / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• HKCR / HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
• HKU / HKEY_USERS
• HKCC / HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

Getting Started

Installation

Users can install Registry Jumper from the Chrome Web Store, the Edge Add-ons, or by manually installing the CRX file from releases. We recommend using the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons link because it will automatically update the extension.

Setup

• Open the Extensions menu
• Click the Registry Jumper menu
• Click on Options
• Complete the setup by following the instructions

Usage

1. Select a Registry Key: On a new tab, select a registry key text (e.g., HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\...).
2. Right-Click and Open: Right-click the selected text and choose "Open in Registry Editor" from the context menu.
3. Refresh Tab: If you already have a tab pulled up, you will need to refresh the tab in order for the extension to work.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the extension, try running the installer again. While functionality typically remains stable across versions, some changes can cause connection issues. Running the install script should resolve these problems.

If you’re still having issues and need help, please open an issue.

How it Works

When you run the install.ps1 script, it downloads regjump.exe from Sysinternals and places it in the regjump folder under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Registry Jumper. The script then copies the necessary files, including the host folder, to the host folder under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Registry Jumper. This setup ensures that the program remains in a consistent location and continues to function correctly, even if the extension version changes.

Next, the installer configures Chrome Native Messaging to enable seamless communication between the extension and RegJump. This allows registry information to be passed efficiently between the browser and RegJump.

Whenever a valid registry prefix is detected, the extension's context menu becomes available. The selected registry information is then passed to RegJump via Chrome Native Messaging, ensuring that it opens the relevant registry key.
