The computer's main memory (RAM) is physical hardware used to help the computer quickly access information that it uses a lot. That is the space in which the operating system and running programs reside.
The registry is a collection of files stored on your computer's hard drive that contains information and configuration information for the operating system and other programs installed on your computer. Parts of the registry may be stored in your computer's RAM while the computer is running. In the past, Windows used a collection of .INI files wherever any programs were located to store the configuration information. Then starting with Windows 95, they consolidated it into two files, and into even more files in Windows NT and 2000. Now there are 6-7 files called "hives" which comprise the system registry.
