How to Get Into a Computer Registry

Windows Registry Have you ever wonder how to get into your registry? Did you just simply forget? Well no worries, this will show you how to get into the Windows registry

Steps
1. Click on start. Start is usually located on the bottom of the screen. This is usually on your taskbar. A window will show up with shortcuts to certain files and programs you have.
2. Go to All Programs. You can either click on all programs or just simply put your mouse over it. All programs should be located at the bottom of the window. Now you should be seeing more folders and shortcuts to most of the programs on your computer.
3. Go to Accessories. This folder is mostly located near the top of the other folders, unless it has been moved. Simply put your mouse over Accessories and you will begin to see more folders appear.
4. Go to System or System tools. Once again, just simply place your mouse over the folder and you'll see a small list of programs.
5. Click on System Restore. Once you left click on system restore, a window will pop up. It will give you a choice of restoring your computer or creating a restore point.
6. Create a restore point. All of those are necessary precautions. This could save you $600 or more. Restore points will restore your computer to that date incase you've made a mistake on regedit. Once you've made a restore point, close out of system restore.
7. Go back to start and click run. Once you do this, a small window will pop up.
8. Type in 'regedit' without the quotes. This will bring up your registry. Don't touch anything if you don't know what you're doing.
