you to access and edit the configuration settings of the Windows operating system.</p> <p>The Windows Registry is a database containing various settings used by the operating system and installed software applications.</p> <p>However, it is essential to be careful when using the Registry Editor, as making incorrect changes to the Registry can cause serious problems with your system, including preventing it from booting correctly.</p> <p>Therefore, before using this guide to modify the Windows Registry, please <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-backup-and-restore-the-windows-registry/" target="_blank">make a backup of the Registry first</a>.</p> <h2>What is the Windows Registry</h2> <p>The Windows Registry database stores the configuration options and settings for the Windows operating system and software installed on your computer.</p> <p>The Registry is organized in a hierarchical structure containing keys and values, with five different 'root' keys at the top, as shown below, that serve a particular purpose.</p> <div style="text-align:center"> <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"><img alt="The Windows Registry Editor showing the five root keys" height="400" src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/tutorials/windows/r/how-to-use-registry-editor/regedit.png" width="717"><figcaption><strong>The Windows Registry Editor showing the five root keys</strong><br><em>Source: BleepingComputer</em></figcaption></figure></div> <p>The five different root keys in the Windows registry and their purposes are:</p> <ol><li> <p><strong>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR)</strong>: This key stores information about file associations and OLE object classes.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU)</strong>: This key stores information about the current user's settings and a specific user's preferences for various applications.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)</strong>: This key stores information that affects the entire computer, regardless of the logged-in user. These settings are for the computer's hardware, operating system configuration, and software settings that affect all users.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>HKEY_USERS (HKU)</strong>: This key stores information about all users who have logged on to the computer.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (HKCC)</strong>: This key stores information about the current hardware configuration of the computer.</p> </li> </ol><p>For the most part, you will be modifying keys and values under the HKCU and HKLM root keys.</p> <p>Registry keys are like folders containing other keys and values used to organize and group related settings.</p> <p>For example, the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key contains settings for the current user account, such as a user's desktop wallpaper, installed application preferences, and personal settings.</p> <p>While keys are like folders, Registry values are the files stored within them, containing the specific settings for a particular key. They can have different data types, including text, numbers, and binary data.</p> <p>There are several different types of registry value data types:</p> <ul style="list-style-type:square"><li><strong>REG_SZ </strong>- A string value that contains text data, such as a username or folder path.</li> <li><strong>REG_DWORD</strong> - A numeric value that contains a 32-bit integer.</li> <li><strong>REG_QWORD</strong> - A numeric value that contains a 64-bit integer.</li> <li><strong>REG_BINARY</strong> - A value that contains binary data, such as an image or sound file.</li> <li><strong>REG_MULTI_SZ</strong> - A string value that contains multiple strings separated by null characters. This is often used for lists or arrays of values.</li> </ul><p>Each registry value type is used for a specific purpose, and understanding them can help you better manage and customize your Windows operating system.</p> <div style="text-align:center"> <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"><img alt="Viewing Registry keys and values in the Windows Registry Editor" height="400" src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/tutorials/windows/r/how-to-use-registry-editor/registry-keys-and-values.png" width="870"><figcaption><strong>Viewing Registry keys and values in the Windows Registry Editor</strong><br><em>Source: BleepingComputer</em></figcaption></figure></div> <p>However, for the most part, when editing the Registry, you will be modifying REG_SZ values for text data and REG_DWORD for numeric data, as they are the most common data types used to stored user-editable data.</p> <h2>Using the Windows Registry Editor</h2> <p>The Windows Registry Editor is a software application created by Microsoft and built into all versions of Windows that allows you to edit the data in the Registry.</p> <p>The Registry Editor application is located at <strong>C:\Windows\regedit.exe</strong>,<strong> </strong>and for the most part, requires administrative privileges to use it properly.</p> <p>To open the Registry Editor, press the <strong>Windows</strong> key + <strong>R</strong> to open the Run dialog box. Next, type "<strong>regedit</strong>" in the search box and press <strong>Enter</strong>. If you are shown a prompt asking if you would like to allow the program to make changes, select '<strong>Yes</strong>' to continue.</p> <p>When the Registry Editor is opened, you will see that the window is divided into two panes. The left pane displays a hierarchical tree structure of the Registry's various keys (folders) and subkeys (subfolders).</p> <p>The right pane displays the values and data associated with the selected key in the left pane.â</p> <div style="text-align:center"> <figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"><img alt="The Windows Registry Editor" height="400" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" width="717" data-src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/tutorials/windows/r/how-to-use-registry-editor/regedit.png" class="b-lazy"><figcaption><strong>The Windows Registry Editor</strong><br><em>Source: BleepingComputer</em></figcaption></figure></div> <p>To open a specific Registry key, use the left pane to navigate to the key you want to edit.
