Which means you can search them by both filename and content.

I recall someone doing an analysis of the Registry editor code back in 
1997 and concluding that it was a bloated mess, with large chunks of code 
copied from some other program which were never used.

The position today is that for some combination of installation and
software update, possibly one of the Service Packs, I saw something
like 100,000 registry updates tick past during a reboot.  That
has _got_ to be a serious maintentance problem whichever way you
look at it.
