Add or remove Registry Editor utility in Control Panel

By Prajwal Desai 1 View Add a Comment August 9, 2020 4 Min Read

In this post we will see how to add or remove Registry Editor utility in control panel. There are lot of registry hacks available that can do some tasks which cannot be done via normal way.

The registry is a database in Windows that contains important information about system hardware, installed programs and settings, and profiles of each of the user accounts on your computer.

To access the registry you can use Registry Editor which is a tool and it’s used to view and change settings in the system registry, which contains information about how your computer runs. Registry Editor lets you view registry folders, files, and the settings for each registry file.

It is always a good practice that before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.

You can save the backup copy to a location such as a folder on your hard disk or a removable storage device.

This backup copy could be restored back if something goes wrong. Before editing the registry, it’s a good idea to create a restore point using System Restore.

Most of all the restore point contains information about the registry, and you can use the restore point to undo changes to your system.
