Navigating to a particular key, though, could sometimes be annoying as the data in the Registry is organized in a tree format and you have to expand numerous subkeys before you got to the one you were looking for. > With the release of the Creators Update, this has all changed as Microsoft finally introduced an address bar to the Registry Editor that you can paste a Registry key into and automatically open it. To use it, simply copy a Registry key from a web site or other location, paste it into the Registry Editor's address bar, and then press Enter. This will cause the Registry Editor to automatically traverse the path and select the particular key.
