My computer has some environment variables that I need to restore. The Registry Editor, unfortunately, does not have a way for me to VIEW .reg files. It can only import them, which I do not want to do because it will modify my whole registry. I absolutely cannot use a text editor because these files are huge. Is there some program out there which can view and explore extremely large .reg files?

Yeah, a program that can view extremely large text files can do it. Some text editors can. Editpad is one example one, google for others. Your title that you don't want a text editor does not follow from your sentence that " I absolutely cannot use a text editor because these files are huge." Your title is wrong and has a false assumption.
There may be text editors that only open parts of files. But that's not necessary.

1how large are the reg files? Try opening it with wordpad built into W7. – Moab – 2015-12-19T23:42:17.240
So you basically want to import a
regfile partially, filtering by key? – gronostaj – 2015-12-19T23:54:26.437
