Editing the Registry
In the following chapters, you will find out how you can edit the registry using the TuneUp Registry Editor mod-
ule.
Please note that this feature is only intended to be used by experienced users.
Introduction
The Windows registry is in effect a huge central database. Every new item of hardware or software you install is
"registered" here. Over time, the registry gets larger and larger, making it increasingly difficult to keep a handle
on things.
Experts in these matters searching for a suitable tool with which to get inside Windows and change a number of
settings by hand should use the TuneUp Registry Editor. It naturally also includes the TuneUp Rescue Center
protection, which allows all changes made to be undone at any time.
How to Edit Your Registry
Start the TuneUp Registry Editor module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and select-
ing the Edit entry under Registry.
The registry is the very heart of your Windows system.î‚£Please note that you should be sure you know
what you are doing before making any changes here.
In the left-hand column the Editor displays the registry in a tree structure. The registry consists of countless keys
broken down by subject matter into different categories. These categories are represented by different folders
and subfolders.
Showing a Key
Double-click on a folder in the left-hand column to display its subfolders. When you get to the end of the hier-
archy chain, the individual keys are displayed on the right.
