Description
Registry Editor provides a means to view and modify the contents of the Windows Registry, the master database that stores configuration settings for Windows XP and many of the applications on your computer. However, don’t confuse Registry Editor with the Registry; Registry Editor is merely an application, like any other. See Chapter 8 for more information on the Registry and the use of Registry Editor. See Chapter 5 for many of the settings that can also be changed in the Registry.
