  3. REGISTRY – WHAT IS IT? • A DATABASE-LIKE SYSTEM • USED TO STORE DATA & SYSTEM SETTINGS INCLUDING: • INFORMATION RELATING TO PREFERENCES AND SETTINGS OF ALL INSTALLED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE • USER PERSONAL PREFERENCES

  4. REPLACES: autoexec.bat, config.sys, system.ini, and win.ini • THE REGISTRY CAN NOT BE EDITED DIRECTLY – A REGISTRY EDITING PROGRAM IS REQUIRED • THE MOST FAMILIAR REGISTRY EDITOR IS MICROSOFT’S REGISTRY EDITOR

  5. ROOT KEYS AND TASKS • HKEY_CURRENT USER - Configuration information for the user profile of the currently logged on user . The user's folders, screen colors, and Control Panel settings are stored here. • HKEY_USERS - Contains configuration information for all users; the data of HKCU is a subkey to HKU.

  6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Contains configuration information that affects all users relative to O/S settings and installed software preferences. • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - The information stored here makes sure that the correct program opens when you open a file; i.e.; what application to open when clicking on a file extension (e.g. *.doc) is stored here. This is a subkey of HKLM\ Software. There is a lot of inter-relationship between HKCR, HKLM and HKU.

  7. HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG - Contains information about hardware profiles – the way the user wishes to use the hardware and other settings used by your computer at system startup.

Registry Editor doesn’t wait for you to issue a File/Save command before making changes permanent. Once altered Registry data is gone forever – unless you remember the prior values and restore them yourself or have separately prepared some form of BACKUP.
