How to read registry

I thought I will post this as a feedback in Miskter/Doctor Mark Russinovic's previousforum but I always geterro to setup an account :(

I write an algorithm to read a subkey to subkey but it is so slow to complete the read:(

I wonder how an F3 functions in regedit.exe :(

You will give me hint to make it work that fast without utilizing CPU and memory, won';t you ?

Thank you

Post some code so we can see what you are doing.

Actually you don;'t need tolook at it, it's ugly and Iam shameful
I think you can just let me know how Search Functiondone for aparticular key/subley inthe regedit.exe is do.
Somesoftware do a searchinthe reg just take uponly 13000 as peaking memory
Mine took 300000 to finish one key :(

Regedit isn't open source (AFAIK), so I don't think somebody has the code for that.

Usually that is the problem of slow code.

Make a simple project that only reads the keys so you can do a speedtest. If the simply project is much faster than your own code, you would need to rewrite your own code.
