Searching windows Registry

I need to be able to search through the registry and search for certain key words. Does anyone know of a good c# wrapper or have a solid example on how to do this?

Thanks

Thank you for the links. Is there another solution that doesn't use Interop? it is extremely slow using the log parser.

I would prefer to use a direct query against the registry as apposed to using this log parser.

Thanks

Not to my knowledge, I think the only way to search the registry is to recurse it.

Think about REGEDIT for example, doing a find in there is slooooow.

True,
Well you answered my question and my problem is solved. it's not fast but there may not be a "quick" way to do it.

The links certainly helps.

Thanks again

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
