Registry Editor

The Registry Editor is a tool in Windows operating systems that allows users to view and modify the Windows Registry, a centralized database storing important settings and configurations for the system and installed programs. Think of it as a structured filing system containing details about hardware, software, user preferences, and system policies. By using the Registry Editor, advanced users can troubleshoot issues, customize system behavior, or optimize performance. However, making incorrect changes can cause problems, so it’s essential to use it carefully and typically only with guidance or expertise.
