Registry Revue

Hello All!

Today, we examine the Windows Registry, a internal record of the programs and internal processes that all versions of Windows from 95 edition onwards have implemented in operations. Not only can the user not only browse and see how the computer records programs and their actions, a user can also alter values and settings in order to manually adjust Windows to their liking. This is also a useful tool for any programmer who wishes to fix errors in said registry.

If you couldn't tell, this is a big honkin' warning.

DO NOT ALTER WINDOWS VALUES WITHOUT PROPER KNOWLEDGE! Chances are that alteration will result in a computer enviroment slightly less stable than a heavily caffienated squirrel.

To be on the safe side, read all you can on the registry before you begin any changes. Here is one good site:

Like he said: you dont wanna mess with the registry unless you absolutely have to or you know what you're doing.
