fwiw, I've been using RegJump for a number of years and it has been a valuable utility.
Today I found that neither the first version I downloaded (1.01) nor the current version (1.1) worked.
When executed, the registry opened, but opened at the key that was selected the last time regedit was closed. This is different from the last time I used it several months ago.
I finally tracked down the problem, and posting it in case it may be of value to others.
RegJump must be executed from either a command prompt that is _initially_ "Run As Administrator" or from a shortcut _who's properties are set to "Run As Administrator"_
When otherwise executed RegJump runs, and the windows dialog box asking permission to run as administrator appears and is answered, regedit opens but does not find the key that RegJump was launched with.
fwiw, version 1.1's option to use the -C argument to pass the clipboard containing a registry key is a MAJOR improvement since that argument can be included in a shortcut.
Suggest that the need to set "Run As Administrator" information be added to the download page at;
