this ahk will allow you to highlight text, such as:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData

and either double click the tray icon, or press the key combo:

CTRL+ALT+R

to copy that text, launch Registry Editor, and browse to that key.

just for ease/speed of modifications. EXE is attached in .zip (may have to allow on defender or other av)

Sorry, but in this case I really don't see any advantages of this search script, because (as I understood it) it does the same as:
- Highlight a text like
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData"
- Copy it by pressing CTRL C
- Start the registry editor
- Paste the line into the adress bar of the registryeditor and press the ENTER key.
