v2.3.0

Registry Expert 2.3.0

Features

• Windows installer — installs to your user profile with a Start Menu shortcut and Apps & Features entry; no admin required
• Automatic migration — existing portable users move to the installer on update with a single click
• Open hives from Explorer — double-click .hiv / .hve files, or right-click a hive (SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, NTUSER.DAT, …) → "Open with Registry Expert"
• What's New viewer — read release notes inside the app (Help ▸ What's New)
• Compare now shows each hive's full file path in the pane headers
• Open dialogs default to the registry-hive filter
• Single instance — opening another hive adds it to the current window
• Redesigned Registry Keys header with Load Hive / Unload All buttons
• Disk Layout — new diskmgmt.msc-style view under Storage: volume table + visual disk bars with partition style (MBR/GPT), capacity, and orphaned-volume detection

Fixes

• Expired certificates now flagged with a bold red (EXPIRED) tag on the Valid To row
• Update banner button stays readable on hover

Upgrading

• Click Restart & Update once — you'll be migrated to the installed version automatically. Your old portable .exe can be deleted afterward.
