Editing the Registry

In the following chapters, you will find out how you can edit the registry using the TuneUp Registry Editor

module.

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 also offers the protection of the

TuneUp Rescue Center, which enables you to undo the changes you made 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

selecting the Edit entry under Registry.

The registry is the very heart of your Windows system. 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

hierarchy chain, the individual keys are displayed on the right.
