Since build 14942, the Registry Editor app in Windows 10 got an address bar, which displays the current Registry key path, and allows you to copy and paste it. This small, but very useful feature got a further improvement in the recently released Windows 10 build 14965 "Creators Update". In Windows 10 build 14965, you can use shorthand notation for HKEY_* root key names. They are as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER = HKCU
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = HKCR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = HKLM
HKEY_USERS = HKU

So, when you need to go directly to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop, you can type the following in the address bar:

hcku\control panel\desktop
