[continued from previous message]

I edit the registry so much that I have an App Paths key that opens up the registry for me, which not only avoids UAC but it literally opens to the
last key I was at (which is typically the App Paths subkey).

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\regopen.exe
@Default=C:\path\regopen.lnk

C:\path\regopen.lnk
Target=C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /TN "Regedit Task"

Win+R taskschd.msc (which, by the way, I have remapped to "schedule"
because I can never remember that abbreviation so I use this instead)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\schedule.exe
@Default=taskschd.msc

In the task scheduler, I have this set up to avoid UAC & open regedit.
Run with highest privileges
Start a program = %comspec% /c start "" regedit.exe
(I've never figured out what I'm supposed to put between the quotes.)

I have this set up to save a couple of steps simply because I edit the
registry so much that saving a few keystrokes make a difference to me.

Notice that by having all my shortcuts in the App Paths, they don't need to
be cluttering my menus, my desktop or my taskbar since they're always
available to me as long as I named them something I can easily remember.

But even if I forget the name, a quick look in the App Paths subkey
shows them all in alphabetical order so it's already outlined for me.
