Summary

This chapter concentrated on the new version of the registry editor supplied with Windows XP and products of the Windows Server 2003 family and its use in modifying, viewing, importing, exporting, and printing the registry. Basic knowledge of this material allows you to simplify the troubleshooting process. However, always remember that improper use of registry-editing tools can lead to the introduction of errors directly into the registry. Use these tools carefully and at your own risk. If you are going to introduce any changes, remember the initial values. This will save you time later on if you need to restore the damaged system.
