Registry Power Tools
Overview
The registry is the configuration database in all 32-bit versions of Windows that contains settings for the hardware and software,
consisting of the SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT files. Many settings previously stored in the WIN.ini and SYSTEM.ini files in 16-
bit Windows (Windows 3.x) are in the registry.
The RegEdit Power Tool enables you to edit the registry through an easy-to-use application window. You can also import and
export specific registry keys.
Editing the Registry
1. On the Power Tools Main Window (see page 1-1), tap the RegEdit icon once. RegEdit opens to a split-pane window with a
collapsible menu in the top half.
Note: The top level of the registry cannot be edited, copied, pasted, or renamed.
2. Click the + sign to expand the menu options.
3. RegEdit offers the following registry categories:
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
4. Expand the appropriate menu by clicking on the + sign next to the category.
