Key Takeaways

Windows Registry is a database of system, and application configurations. When you sign into your Windows account, it pulls the configs from the database and stores them in memory for quick recall.

Editing a key in Windows Registry will usually only need to be done in special cases when you want to configure a non-baseline option.

Always backup the Windows Registry, if you plan on making changes, to allow yourself to fix any problems you create on accident.
