Put simply, the Windows registry is a central repository of information about all aspects of the computer-inparticular, its hardware, operating system, applications and users. It can be accessed and updated under software control and also directly by users. The registry first appeared in Windows3.1. In that system it was a single file, called REG.DAT, and was mainly used to store information about OLE objects. Most other configuration data was held in various INI files,of which WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI were the most important.
The modern registry, as found in Windows9x and NT, brings together all the information that was previously held in REG.DAT and the separate INI files. The registry has several advantages over INI files. Because the information is centralized, it is easier for applications to access it. It is more hierarchical than INI files, and so better suited for storing large amounts of structured data. It is also free of the size limitations which affect INI files (although there is still a maximum total registry size limit).
Although the registry is usually considered to be a single entity, its contents are in fact stored in more than one physical file. In Windows9x, there are two such files: SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT. These hold computer-specific and user-specific information respectively. In Windows NT, the registry is spread over a series of files, sometimes called hives. SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT are usually held in the Windows directory. However, it is also possible to place USER.DAT in the user’s login directory on a network, thus allowing the user to login at other workstations. In NT, the hive files are located in the SYSTEM32\\CONFIG directory, which is off the Windows directory. We can use kind of software such like a registry cleaner to clean registry in order to keep our computer works correctly. Some registry cleaner have a ”registry editor“ capability , too.
