Keys
are entries within the hive??”you can view them as individual
records within the database.
Values
contain the actual registry information??”you can view
them as fields. If you don??™t already know these three terms, then you don??™t have enough knowledge to
begin working with the registry and should probably not use the information in this chapter until
you do have a good working knowledge of the registry. Making changes to the registry without the
required registry knowledge will almost certainly damage the database at some point and could
even cause Server Core to stop working.
This chapter only provides a refresher course for the GUI portion of the RegEdit utility. It
assumes that you??™ve already worked with RegEdit and may simply need to obtain quick information
on performing a particular task. Table 4.1 contains a listing of common tasks and a short
description of how to perform them.
