Parent index
Zero-based index in reverse order. As many key registry levels are truncated on the right as are specified as index numbers.

Example: If 1 is specified as the parent index, one level above the finding key level is returned, so in the example below, the result variable contains F3. If 0 were specified, the result would be F4.
Variable name
The result variable to be set. Specify only the name of the variable, not the $ sign and curly brackets.
Value type
String or DWORD.
Save full path in the variable
If checked, the full path is stored in the variable. The result in the example below would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Search-RegistryKey\F1\F2\F3.
Use 32-Bit mode on x64 computer
If the script runs on a 64-bit operating system, referencing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE key allows the 32-bit application counterpart HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node to be used automatically.

Example:

The following example searches below HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Search-RegistryKey for a DWord value named test, which has a value of 5 and returns in the result variable _Result the full path to a key level above the found location.
