Specialty Definition: Registry

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The registry is a database used to store settings and options for the operating system, specially for Windows 32 bit versions. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. Whenever a user makes changes to "Control Panel" settings, or file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry.

(Taken from infoAnarchy.org/wiki:)

Many optimization and "hacking" tools are available to modify this portion of the Windows operating system.

On Windows 9x computers, an older installation can have a very large registry that slows down the computer's startup and can make the computer unstable.
