What is the Windows registry?

Hello

I searched the Web for a long time to know "that the register is"in simple terms,

I found this,

"The registry is a database that contains information on everything related to my hardware, software and software configurations",

and of course, I do not understand because I need examples to do this,

could you please me say "what is the registry?" and give me some specific examples to the hardware and software to use?

Thank you very much

So for example, go to control panel | Mouse and change
or more of the parameters there. The choices you make are stored in
Control Panel.

Thanks for the reply, but I posted here in order to find clear answers.

you said,

What information?

All your choices of hardware, software and all settings for
them.

Most of the materials it uses, and most of the software is also. For example, all your
choice of parameters Windows are still there.

your example has nothing to do with "how hardware and software use?

Of course, it does. Windows is a software.

- and I do not understand what you meant with "Windows settings"?

I mean all the settings that you make for Windows»

do you mean the laptop settings, control panel customization or or what?

I mean everyone.

  • LVRT 8.5 in the Windows registry: where is it?

    Hello

    I am not satisfied by the System Installer OR. So, I moved to thing as NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page) that is spectacular so far and gives really a total control over all aspects of the installation/uninstallation process.

    So I made my request with LV 8.5.

    The idea is that during installation, the NSIS installer will check if the TERM Labview 8.5 is installed in the system, if so, it will continue the installation, otherwise it will start the installation of the LVRT 8.5 first.

    Then, in the Windows registry, where I can find information on the presence of the LVRT 8.5?

    In other words: when I correctly install the LVRT 8.5 in a computer running Windows XP, the strings and Dwords it will write in my registry? and in the paths of the registry?

    Thank you

    PS: Windows Vista? There a registry?

    Hello Pierre,.

    You are right.

    The registry keys written by the development environment or just the execution time are the same.

    So, just as you said, you will find them under HKLM\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW Time\8.5 run.

  • How can I add a product to my Adobe account or locate serial number by using the Windows registry?

    I can't find my receipt of e-mail on my purchase of CS6 end 2012. (I had a long illness, packed things away and now experience some loss of memory) I want to start again use my CS6 and thought that I would be able to go to my Adobe account to retrieve my serial number. However, my account does not show the order or registration of CS6 under my products even if I received an email from Adobe System Incorporated, welcoming me and thank me for my purchase. Cat officers do not find the corresponding product to my e-mail and refuse to make exceptions or provide assistance to a disability or illness. They say that they must have the right email address associated with the product or a proof of purchase! Other software companies have helped me to locate the serial number by using the Windows registry and then had me answering security questions. I even offered to fix the Adobe email thanking me for buying the CS6, but they said, it would not help! Does anyone know if/how I can add the CS6 to my account and get partner to my email address? Maybe Adobe cat could help me? Also, does anyone know if an encrypted version of the serial number is indeed somewhere in the Windows registry, which make possible for Adobe to help me, if they were ready? This software was very expensive and I don't understand why they won't help me if they could.

  • regarding the cleaning of the windows registry

    Hello

    Is it safe to clean windows registry using my software (Norton).

    Second thing! After cleaning the registry, if I want to uninstall a program that will be easy or normal?

    could you please let me know what anti-virus (paid version) is good with windows7 professional, because Norton is my slow pc work, even if I have the processor i5 with 4 GB of ram.

    No, it is not safe to use any registry cleaner, nor is it necessary.

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
    registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

    and also
    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • . Misfortunes of ICO in the Windows registry for my LabVIEW Application

    Wow, adding that last bit of spit-and-shine in a LabVIEW program can turn into any process.

    I defined a type of file with a .tpml (XML file of the temperature profile).  When my user double clicks on a file of this type, it launches my LabVIEW application.  All this is worked and works well.  I even setup for my program add entries to Windows registry key so that the .tpml file type is associated with my program executable.  This is related to my previous post here.

    The problem I have is that I did a fantasy for my LabVIEW program icon and these well DOCUMENTED files.  The problem is that the key of Windows registry entry that associates this file in my program, causing the ATTESTED to the 16 icon file icon x 16 my program executable.  If I remove the association in the register, it goes back to the .ico file I made.

    I don't know if I can add my ATTESTED to my .exe file icon so that an association between the two causes the correct icon to be displayed in Windows, or if there is some other entry registry key that I need to do to replace Windows and requires to use my DOCUMENTED file. ICO for the icon.  Anyone know?

    These are the registry keys that makes my Installer:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

    .tpml = "tpmlfile".

    . tpml\DefaultIcon = [INSTALLDIR] data\TPMLFile.ico

    tpmlfile = temperature profile XML file

    tpmlfile\shell\open\command = [INSTALLDIR] Profile Editor.exe '%1 '.

    I have all of the isthmus and the brightness I want in this program with the exception of this problem with the icons (less a few problems the keyboard TAB).  As I said, if I remove the entry "tpml\shell\open\command" in the registry, the DefaultIcon works OK.  With this registry in place entry, it uses by default the icon 16 x 16 for "Profile Editor.exe".

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much for your time and input!

    -Nic

    The solution was that I needed the DefaultIcon key as a child of tpmlfile entry NOT .tpml.  Here is my final registry keys that work like a champ!

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

    .tpml = "tpmlfile".

    tpmlfile = temperature profile XML file

    tpmlfile\DefaultIcon = [INSTALLDIR] data\TPMLFile.ico

    tpmlfile\shell\open\command = [INSTALLDIR] Profile Editor.exe '%1 '.

  • What is the Windows Security Center and is compatible with Avast antivirus Protection?

    I installed a paid for version of Avast on my Windows XP computer. (I won't be upgrading to a more modern version of Windows.)

    I also called Windows Security Center.

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    If it is a virus protection, it would hurt Avast and if so can I uninstall it?

    If I removed Avast and didn't have Windows Security Center, I should any type of protection against viruses on my computer?

    The only type of protection against viruses in addition to Avast, I am sure that I have on my computer is Windows Firewall. I turned that off and am now strictly protected by the firewall of Avast. Windows Security Center notifies me of cannot have two firewalls upwards at the same time.

    If Windows Security Center antivirus protection it would do no harm to leave it on if the firewall is disabled and Avast is installed? Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Guesses are welcome. Thank you.

    Hey there Clinton!

    I've identified two questions here, your normal text questions and my answers in bold:

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    Windows Security Center is not a virus protection it's just simply a place to control and view the status of the installation of malware * protection software, but also the firewall on your computer.

    Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Windows Firewall is a separate component.

    Does Avast! Damaged, if I have another antivirus running program?

    It is not clear what might happen, but software may conflict with each other and may not work as expected.

    I hope that I have answered all your questions!
    Sincerely,
