My initial response - if you don't know, don't do it. In Windows the entire setup of all programs is stored in the REGISTRY. Regedit is short for REGISTRY EDIT. Unless you know what you are doing you WILL screw up your computer - perhaps to the point of having to format C: and reloading all your programs and your data. Leave regedit to those who know. Trust me!
