v0.4.0-preview0004

[v0.4.0-preview0004]

Added

• Get-RegistrySubKey to replace Open-RegistrySubKey. This implementation follows
  the .net class better

• Invoke-DeleteSubKey and Invoke-DeleteSubKeyTree private functions for removing
  subkeys

• Remove-RegistrySubKey and Removing-RegistryKeyTree public
  public implementation

• New Private function Get-RegistrySubKeyOperation for managing the logic of
  opening a key or using an existing one provided in Remove-RegistrySubKey

• New-RegistryKeyValuesObject:

  • Retrieves and exports all the values of a specified registry key or subkey
    into a custom object. The object includes the registry path, backup date, user,
    computer name, and a dictionary of the key's values (including data type and value).

  • Supports backing up both root keys and subkeys.

• Get-RegistryValueNames:

  • Retrieves all the value names from a specified registry key. This function
    simplifies the process of listing all registry values for a given key.

• Get-RegistryValueKind:

  • Retrieves the type (kind) of a specified registry key value. This allows for
    easy identification of value types such as String, DWord, and Binary
    within registry keys.

Changed

• Get-RegistrySubKey includes an alias for Open-RegistrySubKey to for compatibility
