The Windows Registry is a database which stores settings and options for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It contains information and settings for hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, and per-user settings. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the kernel, exposing runtime information such as performance counters and currently active hardware.
When first introduced with Windows 3.1, the Windows registry's purpose was to tidy up the profusion of per-program INI files that had previously been used to store configuration settings for Windows programs.These files tended to be scattered all over the system, which made them difficult to track.
