Registry Actions

Description: The Registry action encompasses a variety of activities capable of automating many common registry configuration and management operations, such as the ability to create, manipulate, rename and delete registry keys, sub-keys or value data. This action can read or store registry values, which is ideal in situations when you may want a task to save data collected from an external application so that it can be retrieved and used the next time the task is run. It can also be used to retrieve configuration data, for instance, to keep track of the software you install on the computer.
