This utility doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - OfflineRegistryView.exe

There is one folder field for config folder (for all Registry hives loaded into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key) and one folder field for HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry hives (ntuser.dat and UsrClass.dat). You can also fill these fields with a folder contains a Registry snapshot created by other tools from NirSoft (RegistryChangesView and OfflineRegistryFinder)
