What is the Registry?

March 3, 2010

Lifehacker has a great post about the Windows Registry.  The registry is a database of all Windows Operating System settings and application settings.  If it gets corrupt, it can stop Windows from booting and you may have to reinstall Windows.  For many reasons, typical users should leave the registry alone, but there are times when it should be “cleaned”.  For those times, it may be best to call in  a professional.

If you have any registry questions, feel free to leave a comment and I will provide answers.
