In the registry editor (regedit.exe) you will see six main branches:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (called HKCR): Contains all file associations; the names of the first keys listed within it correspond to the file extensions in question. Shown lower down on the tree are keys which correspond to the names of file types, and their attributes:
- The default icon (DefaultIcon)
- The associated action (shell): open, run, etc.
- control panel: for the control panel
- software: for software that has been installed
- AppEvents: for system sounds (the beep or boop when you click on something)
- keyboard layout: for keyboard settings
- Remote Access: for remote access over a network
- Network: Network configuration
- hardware: for the processor and motherboard
- enum: for hardware (peripheral devices, etc.)
- network: for networking and the Internet
- software: for software configurations shared by all users
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (called HKCC): This is a shortcut to the configuration currently being used in HKLM\Config. It contains settings for the current configuration of the computer.
HKEY_DYN_DATA (called HKDD): This is a shortcut to the components currently being used only in RAM in HKLM\Config (volatile information: exists only temporarily, until the system is reinitialised).
