How to Edit and Fix a Corrupted Computer Registry

The computer registry is one of the most important elements of the
computer. It is the database used by the operating system
(Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium, Windows
XP, Windows Vista, or later) to keep track of all the pc settings
and programs. By changing the registry, you can basically modify
just about anything on your pc.
The registry is divided into different sections called 'hives' and
it is located in \Windows\system32\config\
