Adams Registry Editor
The Registry Editor lets you edit the settings that the Adams Toolbar stores for the different Adams products. It appears whenever you create a user library or set preferences. The elements of the Registry Editor are shown in the figure below, as they appear when you select to view all elements in the Registry Editor. To help you find files, the Registry Editor provides a file browser where you can enter a specific file name or browse for a file or directory.
To make a choice in the Registry Editor:
1. In the treeview, click a folder that you want to change or view.
The Registry area displays the contents of the folder you selected.
2. Click an item listed in the Registry area.
The value of the item appears as a text box, option menu, or check box to let you change or set the value. If the registry item that you selected cannot be changed, nothing changes.
3. Select another item, select OK, or select a different folder in the treeview.
Note: | If you modify a registry item, and then select a new folder to browse in the treeview, the Editor prompts you to save your modifications. |
