How do you access the registry on your laptop?

Answer by  Ragetip (77)

Simple. Go to start,get the Run command,and type Regedit. If you can't do so,use some exernal program like WinXP manager by Yamicsoft. It can either call the normal Regedit,or use some other version; It's user friendly and fast. Don't forget that modifing a registry is difficult,and dangerous if you don't know how to operate it!

To edit the windows registry you need to run regedit.exe. To run it under Windows Xp or Vista, use StartProgram > Run then type regedit. Under Windows 7, just type regedit directly into the Start Program search area. You must have administrator privileges to be able to modify the registry.
