In an excellent article here, Iron Geek talks about various Win 7 items of interest to security. In his discussions of data in the registry, he says many times, "Values are in HEX, but readable if you open them in ASCII view." I'm trying to figure out how to do this. There's no obvious mechanism in Regedit for reading registry data in ASCII. My efforts on Google led me to a few rather old utilities that don't seem to work as advertised. Any advice would be appreciated.
