"Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is no longer usable."

LOL funny to see even now, 20 years later, with powershell, the registry is still no longer usable. People treating the registry in powershell like a browser path vs a key-value storage make powershell go crashy-crash.
