HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT – storage for information about registered programs and file associations.Let’s take a look at each hive and see what it does.

With that said, the registry is full of thousands of entries. In fact you interact with it daily, you just didn’t know it. The registry is very important to Windows! Even with the dire warnings of gloom and doom when editing the registry aren’t anything to be afraid of. If you make a change to a program setting, or something as simple as changing display settings, it is likely those changes are stored in the Windows registry. Settings and information that control hardware configuration, operating system configuration, installed software configuration, and user preferences are all stored in the registry. The Windows registry is a central database for the Windows operation system. You have been warned about the dangers of messing with it.
