The registry is a database of all configuration and operating information for the operating system. Warning: Editing the registry is considered to be a very dangerous process, and could (if done incorrectly) cause the operating system to fail and the computer to not start. Be very, very careful and follow Microsoft's recommendations for backing up and being able to restore the registry, and also to know exactly what you are doing. This is complicated by the fact that the registry editing tools do not give you a chance to confirm your actions - they happen immediately - so you get no second chances.
