thank information! guess if it's hard implement, it's not worth time , effort.

this thread bit old bit if else ends here googling works.

1. set lastkey path want regedit open in
2. launch regedit.

example:

var registrylocation =  "your key here"; var registrylastkey = @"hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\applets\regedit";                try     {         registry.setvalue(registrylastkey, "lastkey", registrylocation); // set lastkey value regedit go directly         process.start("regedit.exe");     }     catch (exception ex)     {         messagebox.show(ex.message, "error", messageboxbuttons.ok, messageboxicon.error);     }
