Three ways to edit the registry _ registry

Once you've learned about the basics of the registry, we can officially enter the topic we want to discuss: Edit and modify the registry! Generally speaking, there are three ways to add, delete and change the registry:

The first way: direct modification (least secure, but most direct and effective)

is through Registry Editor directly to modify the registry key data entries, this avoids leaving the garbage in the registry (although it is small but more and more slows down the system), it requires a user with a certain registry knowledge, familiarity with the internal structure of the registry, and caution.

Registry Editor is an advanced tool that allows you to change your system registration settings. WIN98 Registry Editor is an advanced tool that allows you to change your system registration settings, and experienced Windows users can change the system settings by editing the registry.

The way to start Registry Editor is to perform REGEDIT.EXE under Windows folders (and REGEDIT32.EXE in Winnt and Windows 2000).

The following is a detailed description of the operations commonly used by the Win98 Registry Editor.

(i) Recovery of the Registry

1. Click Start, and then click Close System.

2. Click Restart the computer and switch to MS-DOS mode, and then click Yes;

3. Enter the Windows directory. For example, if you have Windows installed in the C:\Windows directory, you should type the following CD C:\WINDOWS to return;

4. Type C:\windows\command\scanreg/restore in MS-dos mode and then enter.

By following these steps, you can restore the registry to the state it was on the last time you started the computer.

2. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.

2. Click Browse to locate the file you want to import, and then click Open.

2. Right-click the folder to which you want to join the primary key;

3. Point to New under the Edit menu, and then click Primary Key;

4. The new primary key is displayed as a temporary name, a name for the new primary key, and then a carriage return; If you add a new primary key that causes the computer not to boot correctly, you can restore registry information.

(v), add key value

1. Open the registry list and select the folder where you want to add the new key value;

2. Right-click the folder where you want to add the new key value;

The Third Way: programming

Although Microsoft offers a Registry Editor program, used to change the settings in the system registry, but if you do not fully understand the registry, there is a risk of catastrophe-a serious possibility of system paralysis; even though we have the tools we have described above, we can help us with the registry. But it may still not meet some of our special requirements regarding the registry. For example, when we are working on an application, how can I write the application settings and related data to the registry when we install the program?

In this case, this requires us to understand how to manipulate the registry through a program and write or delete related information. Programmers want to be able to control them in their applications, and then there's a third way: Write your own program.

As long as you have carefully read all of the above topics, as long as you are interested in writing programs, you should continue to watch. It will teach you how to do all the registry-related problems at your whim.

Many commercial software or specialized software on your machine when the first installation will be done by overwriting the registry to complete the correct installation of the software operation, the dream of becoming a master programmer you certainly need to master the technology of reading and writing the registry. Taking advantage of the registry will make your application a lot more beautiful.

Knowledge of the registry I believe you have a deeper understanding through the introduction of the previous topic. The system has six predefined keywords (root keys), which are the entry points for user or system access to the registry. We use only the first four keywords. In programming, we typically use just the two keywords HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, because the application-related data exists under these two keywords.

The following is a detailed description of how you can manipulate the registry through a program. See the section on preparing knowledge required for programming and the "programmatically resolving registry Problem instances".
