Back in 2011, Jacques Bensimon wrote this handy utility called Get@String. This utility is basically a decoder ring for those cryptic registry entries called Registry String Redirections.

Great for computers, not so great for us when inspecting the registry and trying to figure things out.
Almost a decade later and we have version 2.0 of Get@String! 🙂
This version now also handles a new type of redirected strings of the form @{…}, one most commonly used by UWP apps to point to their resources, like image paths and other strings. Here’s an example:
