Hello,

Be VERY carefull with the registry file.
Making mistakes in the registry file can make the windows unworkable and even break it.

why are you using Yahoo search than Google?
Most interesting question of the thread! :)

Maybe this is the default search engine there or maybe impact of the time when yahoo was the famous one. Or maybe it's also a search engine and searches same as Google normally.

(It's normal to ask such question, people always curious about important person's choice like the the choice of 'administrator' here)

The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores low-level settings for the Microsoft Windows operating system and for applications that opt to use the Registry. The kernel, device drivers, services, Security Accounts Manager(SAM), and user interface can all use the Registry. The Registry also allows access to counters for profiling system performance.

The Registry contains two basic elements: keys and values. Registry keys are container objects similar to folders. Registryvalues are non-container objects similar to files. Keys may contain values or further keys. Keys are referenced with a syntax similar to Windows' path names, using backslashes to indicate levels of hierarchy. Keys must have a case insensitive name without backslashes.

How to learn it and where it is used?

Hi, you can go through such online tutorials: http://www.gammadyne.com/registry.htm and can learn about windows registry. In simple, registry is the heart of computer where you can add and break anything! Even windows security passwords but it needs very good understanding about registry. So we can call the registry is a supreme setting of a windows system.

Where to use it?
Open Run and type 'regedit' then opens the registry windows. Use it there.

OK, Is there any hidden Benefit of it?
Sometime, you need such setting or place, to which you cannot find in control panel or any settings. For that time you need registry. It has many many flexible/critical entries from where you can modify many things. Lets say your PC has infected with a hidden virus and antivirus is not detecting them. If you searched and found the virus entry in registry and if you removed them from registry, you can remove them from the system.

It's very critical too. In some place, if you changed 1 into 0 then you will never get back your windows again. :)
