| Regkey is simply an abbreviation for "registry key." Registry keys are the building blocks that make up your computer's registry. Your computer's registry is a database of settings for your system: it keeps track of your hardware, software, security, users, and preferences.
Often, your registry can get clogged with unnecessary data and shortcuts from old applications. If your computer is running slowly and applications are showing error messages, your registry may need repairs.
It's possible to edit your Windows registry by running regedit.exe in the Windows directory. However, editing your registry can cause irreversible damage. It's not recommended that you attempt to manually edit your registry unless you know exactly what you're doing. Instead, you should use a scanner to clean up your registry. |
