The Registry is a database used to store settings and options for the 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows; including Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP and 2003. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. Whenever a user makes changes to a Control Panel settings, or File Associations, System Policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the Registry.

There are several methods for starting the Registry Editor, the simplest is to click on the START button, then select RUN, and in the OPEN: box type "regedit", and if the Registry Editor is installed it should now open and look like the image below.
