Registry

The configuration registry stores values that define the working environment for the Windows NT operating system and any services installed on the computer running Windows NT. Usually, to change these values, you use graphical tools, such as Control Panel, Windows NT Setup, or Internet Service Manager. Windows NT also includes a utility, the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe), which you can use to inspect and modify the configuration registry directly.
