HKEY_CURRENT_USER

HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU) is a part of Windows' registry, a digital database that stores configuration settings for the current user. Imagine it as a folder containing preferences, settings, and options specific to the person logged in. This can include desktop appearance, application settings, and user-specific options. When you log in, Windows uses HKCU to quickly load your personalized environment. It ensures that each user has a separate, tailored experience while sharing the same computer system. HKCU dynamically points to your user profile data, making your user-specific settings accessible and manageable.
