Your quoting is way beyond good and evil...
You can't "check" with regtool for values - only for keys. The
documentation says it.
On the other hand you shouldn't trust the documentation because it is
incorrect in many ways:
* It says "KEY is in the format [host]\prefix\KEY\KEY\VALUE" (which
would mean that you /could/ "regtool check" for values - but you
can't. The problem here is that sometimes "KEY" means "KEY" and
sometimes "KEY" means "KEY\VALUE".
* It says "You can use forward slash ('/') as a separator instead of
backslash, in that case backslash is treated as escape character"
...which would mean that
regtool get
'/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/UserAssist/{75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}/Count/HRZR_EHACNGU:S:\\cfgneg.rkr'
...should work - but it doesn't.
* the doc says "Options for 'set' and 'unset' Actions: -K<c>,
--key-separator[=]<c> set key separator to <c> instead of '\'"
That incorrect in two ways because
1. "-k" is not only valid for set and unset but it's also valid for
"get"
2. It would mean that "regtool -K+ check
'+HKEY_CURRENT_USER+Software'" would be valid but it isn't.
So what actually does work...?
1. regtool -K+ get
'\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\{75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}\Count+HRZR_EHAPCY:"P:\JVAQBJF\flfgrz32\vagy.pcy",Ertvbany

and
2. regtool -K+ get
'/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/UserAssist/{75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}/Count+HRZR_EHAPCY:"P:\\JVAQBJF\\flfgrz32\\vagy.pcy",Ertvbany
