The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores settings and options for Microsoft operating systems. It's organized into keys which contain different values, each of which can be either a string or binary data, depending on the data type of the value. Generally, it contains information about hardware devices, installed software, user preferences and system configuration.

Using the Windows registry requires advanced knowledge of computers and should only be done by experienced users. Due to its complexity, it’s recommend to make a backup copy of your registry before making any changes. Doing this will help you restore your computer in case something goes wrong while modifying the registries.

The Windows registry is located in the C:\Windows\System32\config directory as two files named “System” and “Software” respectively. These files can also be found in other locations depending on which version of windows you are running.

Common uses for the windows registry include managing system and application settings, changing startup programs, setting control panel configurations, resetting passwords and troubleshooting computer issues.

Deleting items from your registry can have serious consequences on your computer as well as installed applications if done incorrectly. It’s important to make sure you have a backup copy of your entire registry before making any changes as this will help restore your computer in case something goes wrong during editing process.
