RegEdit in your browser
The Windows 98 Registry Editor, browsing the emulator's virtual registry through a tree view implemented in WAT. RegEdit runs in Wine-Assembly, a Windows 98 emulator written in WebAssembly Text, so it starts in the browser with nothing to install.

How it runs here
The x86 code is interpreted by threaded code written in WebAssembly Text; windows, controls, menus and dialogs are the emulator's own Win32 layer, and every pixel is drawn by a software GDI in the same module. See how the program and its DLLs are loaded.
Something wrong? The emulator is open source; report it on GitHub with the app name and what you clicked.
Questions
How do I play RegEdit in my browser?
Open the RegEdit page and click Launch. The program's files are fetched from this site and run inside the tab as WebAssembly; nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
What are the controls for RegEdit?
RegEdit is played with the mouse and the same keyboard shortcuts as the original Windows 98 program; its menus list them.
Does RegEdit work on a phone?
It loads in mobile Safari and Chrome and the desktop scales to the screen, but RegEdit was made for a mouse and a keyboard, so it plays best on a desktop browser. Taps act as clicks.
Are my scores and settings saved?
Whatever RegEdit writes to the Windows registry or to its INI file is kept in this browser's local storage, so it is there next time on the same device and browser. Clearing site data removes it.
Does RegEdit have sound here?
Registry Editor has no sound of its own; the original only beeps on an error, and that beep is played.
Is this the real RegEdit or a remake?
It is the original 32-bit Windows (PE) executable (regedit.exe), run instruction by instruction by an x86 interpreter written in WebAssembly Text. The emulator provides the Windows API underneath it, not a rewrite of the program.
