What is Registry?

The Registry contains information that Windows continually references during operation, such as profiles for each user, the applications installed on the computer and the types of documents that each can create, property sheet settings for folders and application icons, what hardware exists on the system, and the ports that are being used.
A registry  is a group of keys, subkeys, and values in the registry that has a set of supporting files that contain backups of its data.
