Quick: Search entire HKLM hive for a value containing "C:\\"

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Need some quick help.

Need to write an analysis to search the entire HKLM hive for any value containing the string “C:\”.

Any ideas? I know how to do this on specific keys, but not recursively through the entire hive.

This is probably not recommended. See the following article on how to define how many levels to look, however each level will get more and more time consuming…

The preferred method would probably be to write a script (vbs, bat or otherwise) and log the results and then create a property to capture the results.
