What is Registry Editor (RegEdit)?
Registry Editor (RegEdit) is a database used to store options and settings for 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 95, 98, ME and NT/2000. The information and settings for all the hardware, software, and user preferences of a computer are given in Registry Editor. Any changes made by a user in Control Panel, File Associations, System Policies, or installed software are reflected and stored in Registry Editor. The physical location of the registry depends on the version of the operating system. .
