Guest jeremiah wright Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 The Windows registry on your PC is a set of files which store all the essential settings for hardware, the operating system, the control panel, application software, user preferences and user profiles, and file associations (which programs run which types of files). How is Windows XP registry repair done, and why does the Windows registry ever need to be repaired anyway? At the bottom of this article, there is a link to a resource page which gives access to software tools you can use to repair the registry. Repairing or cleaning the registry can also be done manually, using the program regedit.exe (Registry Editor), which comes with Windows XP, or with reg.exe from the command line. Manual editing is not recommended though, even if you do a backup, because the registry files are absolutely essential for the Windows operating system to run, and it is all too easy to damage them by careless editing. Microsoft Support itself says this - 'Although you can use Registry Editor to inspect and modify the registry, doing so is not recommended, as making incorrect changes can damage your system.'...
