Are there any registry websites that are good for hunting down specific
entries? I have many tweaks I need to make (for a windows xp embedded
image), and finding them seems very time consuming. Ideally, such a
site could do a search for something like "Show icon in notification
area when connected" and find the corresponding registry entry, at
least within 15 minutes of searching through the results. I would use
a registry diff tool to try and figure out where a specific change is,
but the registry constantly makes tons of changes; and these tools
don't seem easily useful.

Any tips/tools/websites you use to locate a specific registry entry
would be useful.
Thanks,
Jason Rooks
