The Windows Registry

The Windows Registry is a huge hierarchical database which stores your Windows operating system's configuration settings and options, such as hardware, software settings and user preferences. Effectively, whenever a new application is installed or when a user changes control panel or policy settings, then this information is mirrored and stored within the Windows registry. It is a bridge between the computer and operating system and without it your Windows operating system would cease to function.

The Registry Structure

The registry is made up two basic components - 'keys' and 'values'. Each key can contain subkeys which may then hold further subkeys and furthermore. Each key can then contain zero or more 'values' and every one of these values will contain one piece of data.

The Registry has six root keys all of which are group relevant, as follows:

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - Information on file types and the programs which are needed to open them.
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Contains user-specific settings.
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Hardware and software settings.
  
• HKEY_USERS - Information about all the users that log-on to the PC and this can be generic and user-specific. Generic means that it has the same default settings for all the users that log on.
  
• HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG - The computer's hardware configuration settings.
  
• HKEY_DYN_DATA - Performance statistics of the hardware in real-time.
  

All of these root keys, subkeys and their values will incur over time, corrupt, invalid and redundant data. This is due to the nature of how the Windows registry operates. You can view or modify the Windows registry by clicking on 'Start', 'run' and then type 'regedit' and enter. Or just type 'regedit' in the search box.

  DO NOT attempt to become a 'registry mechanic' yourself if you are not 100% competant. Modifying and editing the Windows registry manually can potentially make your computer inoperable so click here for further help and information from Microsoft's support page.
