The Windows registry subtree that gets its information from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) subtree is HKEY_USERS (HKU). Specifically, user-specific settings and profiles are stored under HKU, which can include information that is derived from or related to the machine-level configurations found in HKLM. This allows user profiles to access machine-wide settings and configurations as needed.

The Windows registry subtree that contains information about the currently logged-on user is the HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU) hive. This hive includes user-specific settings and configurations, such as preferences, environment variables, and application settings. It is dynamically linked to the HKEY_USERS subtree, which holds profiles for all users on the system, with HKCU representing the active user's profile.

Windows uses a database called the registry to keep information regarding hardware and software configuration information, user preferences, and application settings. // When 32-bit device drivers are installed, Windows records information about the drivers in the registry. // Every time Windows starts up, it reads the entries in the registry to know how to load the drivers needed at startup.
