registry editor

[ivoryman50]

i've looked around high and low and haven't been able to find anything too clear cut. i'm looking for a registry editor that will work to do edits like people talk about for changing values or adding lines or dwords. i have sktools installed especially for the freeRAM part, but i can't ever seem to make the registry editor work to change anything. can someone either help me understand how to make changes through the registry search or suggest a program that can make those changes? Thanks.
