windows - Why/how are Registry Entries Hidden in Regedit but visible in PowerShell? -
i'm working new property schema, , have been in habit of checking registry when register or unregister new version. 1 of primary places check hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\propertysystem\propertyschema
.
interestingly, lose access registry location in regedit. see see (note absence of propertyschema):
i know schemas still registered, because can use prop.exe tool , propschema sdk sample application describe them. properties available in windows explorer , in search.
also, can use powershell list contents of hive:
c:\users\carlton> cd hklm: hklm:\> c:\users\carlton> cd hklm: hklm:\> cd software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\propertysystem\propertyschema hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\propertysystem\propertyschema> dir hive: hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\propertysystem\propertyschema name property ---- -------- 0000 (default) : c:\program files\internet explorer\ie9props.propdesc schemaid : {d9b5aba1-5e8a-4902-b6a1-50b3c0311c2e} uri : ie9props.propdesc compacturi : 5376bae4b39f43768806afcb6b8ff5464bf9c989d1a819c6e6d99ba1e8ce2512 0001 (default) : c:\program files\microsoft office\office14\custom.propdesc schemaid : {537aaab1-1d85-48dc-a99e-16eb8c309fe5} uri : custom.propdesc compacturi : 2e3be58e5cbbc0da093956b46a3905f11cf0f5bbf11987a8619e25f7261ee8be 0002 (default) : c:\apps\msoffice\office14\visiocustom.propdesc schemaid : {18503526-0466-4942-ac6e-41c1d380eaba} uri : visiocustom.propdesc ...
anyway, don't understand how happens, , whether should worried it. exporting key colleague's machine , re-importing can temporarily help, show keys in regedit hidden/missing (even if weren't on colleague's machine).
i'm in administrators group, running windows 7 sp1.
harry johnston's intuition correct. re-ran regedit command line path c:\windows\regedit
, , once again see expected under hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\propertysystem\propertyschema
. could've sworn wasn't showing either, it's working now, apparently.
i confirmed exporting parent key (propertysystem) 64-bit , 32-bit regedit's , running beyond compare. propdesc files verily not there in 32-bit version.
