No. The registry information stored on a computer is often that from installations/uninstalls and stored data keys. A majority of low-budget software companies will not bother when it comes to the registry info left/created/generated on a computer running the software installed. There are several free software programs created specifically to remove such useless data that no longer serves a purpose. This included, most software that requires a user to "purchase" and enter info proving it is that assigned user can be changed in the registry data to trick the program into thinking its been activated (ex; Changing the value of a key from "False" to "True"). The registry has nothing to do with what processes are running. Ctrl+Alt+Delete//Ctrl+Shift+Esc will open the running processes screen. This allows the user to end/start/pause and other advanced features (that a person who doesnt know what they're doing) shouldn't be touched unless a good purpose is present. If you dont know what your doing in this window, you can do a great job of making the computer become unstable.

The operating system maintains a list of currently running processes, which includes the QQ program. This list is constantly updated by the operating system to monitor the status of all active programs, including QQ.

What will happen when you double click the registry file?

If you mean a file with the extension *.reg, when you double click on it the operating system will ask you "Do you want to add information in the registry?" (or something like that). If you confirm you will change the registry. You have to be extremely careful when you are using such files because it can cause irreversible damage of the registry and as result the death of the operating system. If you mean SAM file. Then nothing will happen. The operating system will not allow you to modify the file. You cannot even copy it.
