The file is saved with a guid value ``` #### EXAMPLE 4 ``` Get-BluGenieRegSnapshot -Path 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip' ``` ``` Any values that match HKEY_CURRENT_USER will be convert to HKU keys and all loaded registry hives will be enumerated and parsed. A Registry Snapshot of the path will be taken for each loaded hive that has the key path. ``` #### EXAMPLE 5 ``` Get-BluGenieRegSnapshot -Path 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip' -OutUnEscapedJSON ``` ``` Any values that match HKEY_CURRENT_USER will be convert to HKU keys and all loaded registry hives will be enumerated and parsed. A Registry Snapshot of the path will be taken for each loaded hive that has the key path. The return will be a beautified json format ``` ### PARAMETERS #### Path ``` -Path The path to the parent registry key String Required? false Position? 1 Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` #### Walkthrough ``` -Walkthrough [] An automated process to walk through the current function and all the parameters SwitchParameter Required? false Position? 2 Default value False Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` #### ReturnObject ``` -ReturnObject [] Return information as an Object. By default the data is returned as a Hash Table SwitchParameter Required? false Position? 3 Default value False Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` #### LeaveFile ``` -LeaveFile [] Do not remove snapshot file. By default the data is saved has a GUID in the users temp directory SwitchParameter Required? false Position? 4 Default value False Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` #### OutUnEscapedJSON ``` -OutUnEscapedJSON [] Removed UnEsacped Char from the JSON Return. This will beautify json and clean up the formatting. SwitchParameter Required? false Position? 5 Default value False Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` #### CommonParameters This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://manuals.blusapphire.io/blugenie/full-function-list/get-blugenieregsnapshot.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
