What is the Registry?
| The Windows® Registry |
| Windows 95's Registry stores system configuration details so that Windows looks and behaves just as you want it to. It stores user profile information such as wallpaper, color schemes, and desktop arrangements in a file called USER.DAT. And it stores hardware and software-specific details such as device management and file extension associations in a file called SYSTEM.DAT. In most ways, it replaces functions of the Win.ini and System.ini from earlier versions of Windows, but these files are still in use because so many Windows applications refer to them. Registry details can be exported to text format as a file with the extension REG. |
