the Windows Registry. At first glance, it would seem that both =

computer=92s registry is different. Every time you add hardware or =
software, or=20
change a Control Panel option, the Registry changes. However, while =

registry is different, there are still certain elements that all =

in common. It=92s those common factors that I=92ll be focusing on in =
this=20
article.<BR><BR>Space doesn=92t permit me to discuss each common =

Registry=20
Editors: Regedit and Regedt32</SPAN><BR>The primary tool for making =
manual=20
registry changes is the Registry Editor. Because of the Registry =
Editor=92s=20
destructive capability, Microsoft didn=92t create an icon for it within =
Windows.=20
Therefore, you must either create your own icon or run the Registry =
Editor from=20
the command prompt. If you=92re running Windows NT, you should make sure =
that=20
you=92re logged in as the Administrator before trying to use the =
Registry Editor.=20
If you=92re logged in with an account other than the Administrator, =
certain=20
portions of the Registry may be invisible or =
inaccessible.<BR><BR>Windows NT=20
version 4.0 actually has two different Registry Editors. Regedt32 mimics =
the=20
Registry Editor found in previous versions of Windows NT. It displays =
each main=20
section of the Registry in a different window.<BR><BR>The other Registry =
Editor=20
is identical to the one used in Windows 98. You can access this Registry =
Editor=20
in both versions of Windows by using the Regedit command. Although this =
is the=20
only version of the Registry Editor that=92s available in Windows 98, =
it=92s the=20
preferred version in Windows NT. That=92s because it contains some handy =
search=20
tools that aren=92t found in Regedt32.<BR><BR><SPAN =
class=3Dsubhead1>Viewing keys in=20
Regedit</SPAN><BR>In Regedit, the Registry is displayed as primary =
registry keys=20
beneath My Computer. Each of these primary keys has a plus sign beside =
it that=20
you can click to expand the key. Any time that you see a plus sign, you =
can=20
further expand the Registry. When you reach the deepest key in a given =
path, you=20
can click on the key to see the key=92s values.<BR><BR>In Windows 98, =
there are=20
six keys. In Windows NT, the sixth key, the HKEY_DYN_DATA section, is =
virtually=20
nonexistent. In fact, it doesn=92t exist in the Regedt32 program, and =
although it=20
is visible in the Regedit program, it=92s inaccessible.<BR><BR>Each =
key=92s value is=20
made up of a name and the value=92s data. Any time you need to make a =
change to an=20
existing value, simply right-click it. Doing so brings up a context menu =
that=20
lets you modify or delete a value. Modifying a value allows you to edit =
only the=20
data portion of the value.<BR><BR>To create a new key or value, navigate =
to the=20
desired location and select the New command from the Edit menu. Creating =
a new=20
key works exactly like creating a new folder under Windows Explorer. =
However,=20
you can create three different types of values: String, Binary, and=20
DWORD.<BR><BR>Two other features of the Registry Editor deserve mention. =
First,=20
the Registry Editor has the ability to edit a remote computer=92s =
registry via the=20
Connect Network Registry command on the Registry menu. Second, the Find =
and Find=20
Next commands on the Edit menu allow you to locate specific keys and =
values=20
throughout the Registry. You can even search for a partial word or =
value. As you=20
become more comfortable with editing the Registry, you=92ll use the Find =
feature a=20
lot, since the Registry tends to be very large and can potentially =
contain=20
multiple instances of a given value.<BR></FONT><FONT =

responsible=20
for controlling a different portion of Windows. In the sections that =

I=92ll explain the function of each key.<BR><BR><SPAN=20
class=3Dsubhead1>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT</SPAN><BR>The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT =
section works=20
similarly under both versions of Windows. Its primary purpose is the=20
registration of file extensions. For example, the Windows Write program=20
registers the .wri file extension here. If you look under the WRI key, =
you=92ll=20
observe that it has a default value of WRIFILE.<BR><BR>Locate the =
WRIFILE entry,=20
which is also located in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section of the Registry. =
There=20
are multiple entries below this key. The CLSID entry contains a =
reference number=20
associated with the Windows Write program. The Default Icon entry =
contains the=20
actual location of the program=92s executable file.<BR><BR>The WRIFILE =
key also=20
contains a Shell subkey, which has subkeys beneath it. These subkeys =
have names=20
such as Open, Print, and Printto. Each of these subkeys has a command =
subkey=20
beneath it. The command subkeys control the behavior of some of the=20
corresponding program=92s context menu options. For example, if you =

that one of the subkeys was the CLSID key, which contains the =

reference number. Any program=92s reference number also corresponds to =
another=20
registry entry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | CLSID. This entry establishes =

class=3Dsubhead1>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</SPAN><BR>The HKEY_CURRENT_USER key =
contains=20
the options available to the user who=92s currently logged in. Although =
the=20
Windows 95 and Windows 98 Registries contain a key with an identical =
name, the=20
HKEY_CURRENT_USER key does much more in Windows NT than in Windows 98. =
For=20
example, in Windows 98, this registry key holds the recently opened =
documents=20
list and the keyboard layout settings. In Windows NT, however, this =
registry key=20
is directly linked to the user=92s security profile. This isn=92t the =
case in=20
Windows 98 unless you have profiles enabled. Even so, the Windows NT=20
implementation is more extensive. For example, in Windows NT, this key =
contains=20
information on which Control Panel applets the user is allowed to run. =
In=20
Windows NT or in Windows 98 with profiles enabled, when a user logs in, =
Windows=20
uses that user=92s profile information to build this registry =
key.<BR><BR>Another=20
variation in the Windows Registries is the AppEvent subkey. Although =
both=20
versions of Windows contain this subkey, the Windows NT implementation =
is much=20
more extensive than that found in Windows 98. This subkey contains a =
registry=20
entry for various system actions, such as emptying the Recycle Bin or =
receiving=20
a general protection fault. You can use these registry keys to assign =
sounds to=20
the various events and, in some cases, to set an automated system =
response to=20
the action. Keep in mind, though, that any such parameters found in this =
section=20
apply only to the user who=92s currently logged in.<BR></FONT><FONT=20
class=3DcontentText><BR><SPAN=20
class=3Dsubhead1>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE</SPAN><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE =
controls aspects=20
that relate specifically to the physical computer and the software =
loaded on it.=20
Because Windows NT is so strict about every aspect of your computer=92s =
hardware,=20
it should come as no surprise that this registry key is much more =
complex than=20
its Windows 98 counterpart.<BR><BR>The first subkey is the Hardware key. =

Although the Hardware subkey is of relatively little importance in =
Windows 98,=20
it=92s absolutely crucial to Windows NT. Perhaps the most interesting =
section of=20
the Hardware subkey is the RESOURCEMAP subkey. Beneath it is =
configuration=20
information for many of the hardware devices in your =
system.<BR><BR>Another main=20
section under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is the SOFTWARE section. The SOFTWARE =
subkey=20
contains information about most software that=92s installed on your =
system. Keep=20
in mind that only software designed for Windows NT or Windows 98 will =
make an=20
entry in this section. Also, some simpler programs may not require =
registry=20
entries. Programs that depend on registry entries each have their own =
subkey=20
below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE. Some software manufacturers, such =
as=20
Microsoft, may rely on an additional subkey containing the name of the =
company.=20
For example, software published by Microsoft places its registry keys =
under=20
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft.<BR><BR>If you look deeper =
into the=20
SOFTWARE | Microsoft subkey, you=92ll see that there=92s an entry for =
Windows or=20
Windows NT, depending on which operating system you=92re using. The =
Windows or=20
Windows NT subkey stores registry entries relating to add-ons to the =
operating=20
system. For example, in Windows NT, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE |=20
Microsoft | Windows NT | CurrentVersion key contains information about =
which=20
fonts and drivers are installed and about such aspects as network=20
configurations, time zones, and port configurations. In Windows 98, =
similar=20
information is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft | =
Windows |=20
CurrentVersion.<BR><BR>Another section of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE worth =
discussing is=20
the SYSTEM subkey. Although everything under the SYSTEM subkey is =
critical to=20
the operation of Windows, the area of most interest is usually the=20
CurrentControlSet subkey. Beneath CurrentControlSet are several other=20
subkeys.<BR><BR>The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | =
Control=20
key stores such crucial information as the computer name and what to do =
in the=20
event of a crash. Both versions of Windows contain this subkey; however, =
each=20
version contains keys within this section that are version=20
specific.<BR><BR>Other areas of interest in the Windows NT =
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |=20
SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet key are the Enum and the Hardware Profiles =
keys. The=20
Enum key contains configuration information that tells Windows NT how to =

respond, then a program attempts to make a direct call to a device. The=20
configuration information found in this section tells Windows NT to =
intercept=20
the call and deal with it in a manner that won=92t be harmful to other =
programs.=20
The Hardware Profiles section allows you to set up multiple hardware =
profiles.=20
For example, you might have a docked and an undocked profile for a =
notebook=20
computer. In Windows 98, similar information is found under =
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |=20
ENUM and under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | Hardware. However, keep in mind that =
Windows=20
98 works with hardware much differently than Windows NT does. In the =
Windows 98=20
implementation, these sections contain plug and play information and =
basic=20
processor and serial port configuration information.<BR><BR>Another key =
found=20
beneath the CurrentControlSet key in Windows NT is the Services key. =
This key=20
contains information about Windows NT=92s various services. The =
information found=20
in subkeys beneath Services includes the services=92 location and =
startup type.=20
Because the Service Control Manager is specific to Windows NT, Windows =
98=20
doesn=92t contain an equivalent to this section.<BR><BR><SPAN=20
class=3Dsubhead1>HKEY_USERS</SPAN><BR>The HKEY_USERS key stores profiles =
for each=20
user with an account that resides on the computer. When a user logs in, =
his or=20
her settings are read from HKEY_USERS and copied to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. =
In=20
Windows NT, the registry uses each user=92s SID number rather than a =
login name=20
for the name of the related key. In Windows 98, this key contains only=20
user-specific information if you=92ve enabled profiles. Otherwise, the =
default=20
system profile is the only one that=92s stored in this =
section.<BR><BR><SPAN=20
class=3Dsubhead1>HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG</SPAN><BR>In both versions of =
Windows, the=20
main purpose of the HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG key is to store video and =
Internet=20
settings. All of the aspects relating to your video card=92s resolution =
and=20
refresh rate are stored under this key. Likewise, you can find =
information about=20
the way your physical Internet connection is configured under=20
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG | SOFTWARE | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | =
Internet=20
Settings.<BR><BR><SPAN class=3Dsubhead1>HKEY_DYN_DATA</SPAN><BR>As I =
mentioned=20
earlier, the HKEY_DYN_DATA section is virtually nonexistent in Windows =
NT. In=20
Windows 98, it controls some of the operating system=92s low-level =
functions. For=20
example, plug and play information and other device settings are stored =
under=20
this key. However, in Windows NT, plug and play doesn=92t exist, and =
much of the=20
other information normally stored in this key is stored beneath other =
keys=20
instead.<BR><BR><SPAN class=3Dsubhead1>Conclusion</SPAN><BR>There are =
