The Windows XP Registry is an enormous database that keeps track of how a computer is configured. It holds information about defaults and properties for folders, files, users, preferences, applications, protocols and hardware devices.
A thorough understanding of the Registry enables users to make tweaks that can enhance system performance, adjust the Windows UI for a particular need, and recover files and data after a disaster. In addition, system administrators use the Registry to manage and administer Windows networks.
