Windows Registry for A+ Exam

By Jane H

Everytime you change the display settings, install a new hardware, or have a new user log on to the system, you are adjustiing registry values. Microsoft Windows operating system uses the registry to hold these configuration settings for how the computer should run. The next time you turn on the computer, the boot process uses the values stored in the registry to load a hardware profile (if applicable) and authorizes device drivers.

It might help if you think of the registry as a database to organize your systems information. The registry organizes similar information into files, or Hives. These Hives are stored in the %systemroot%\system32\config as Default, SAM, Security, Software, and System.
