Quote:The Windows Registry is a database where Windows and many programs store their configuration settings. You can edit the registry yourself to enable hidden features and tweak specific options. These tweaks are often called “registry hacks.”

What is the Windows Registry, and How Does It Work?

The Windows registry is a collection of several databases. There are system-wide registry settings that apply to all users, and each Windows user account also has its own user-specific settings.

On Windows 10 and Windows 7, the system-wide registry settings are stored in files under
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\Config\
, while each Windows user account has its own NTUSER.dat file containing its user-specific keys in its
Code:
C:\Windows\Users\Name
directory. You can’t edit these files directly.
