The "Registry" is a database within Windows that contains all hardware, software and configuration information for Windows and all installed applications on the computer.

Basically, the registry is used to store system and program settings. For example, let's say a program gives you the option of setting its font. You select a font on its font selection screen and hit OK. When you hit the OK button, *most* software will make an entry into the registry. Next time you run the program, it retrieves the information you set, in this case the font style.

Registry is a place which keeps record of all harware & software in your PC. Go to Start -> Run -> Type "regedit".
You can see your system registry. But don't experiment. You should be thorough with Hexadecimal Numbering. There are many websites related with System registry.
