Registry an addition on How to edit

Y ou by now must be familiar with my rantings on what to do before editing the Registry, and on how to launch Regedit

Well I thought I would outline some of the actions which you do in the editing Due to the nature of The Registry, any changes you make here do not have to be saved, as you do with other programs etc.

.

All changes are applied upon closing The Registry and restarting the system.

Here I have to emphasis that this also means that there is no ʹCancelʹ button therefore undoing accidental changes is not easy.

This is why I rate on about making sure you have a copy of the original

So make sure you keep careful note of the values you intend to edit.

Registry values are stored in keys which appear as folders in the Regedit window.

When you highlight a key in the left‐hand pane.

The values stored in it appear in the right‐hand pane.

To Edit a value

Right click it

Select Modify.

To add a New Value

Scroll to the key in which you wish to add the value to

Right click it

Select New

Then the type of value you wish to create.

Usually this will be either a String or DWORD value.

Once you have created the value, name it, then right click on it to Modify its properties.

__**Note :**__‐

It is important when naming the entries in the Registry.

That you stick to the names with No Spaces, an use capital letters to make the word legible.

As for example:‐
