Chapter 4. Using RegEdit

In the first three chapters, you learned what the Registry is, how it functions, and how to safeguard it against accidental damage or loss. Now that you've absorbed this basic knowledge, the real fun starts: now you learn how to modify the Registry's contents. In later chapters, you'll learn how to use the powerful RegEdt32 application, as well as how to write your own programs that find, store, and modify Registry data. As a departure point, though, let's start with RegEdit, a simple, easy-to-use tool that will help you get familiar with the mechanics of navigating and editing the Registry.
