The Architecture of the Windows Registry
Mike Halsey, Andrew Bettany · Apress eBooks · 2015
The most relevant simile for the Windows Registry in your PC is the human brain It stores all of the key information and code that allows the different parts of your computer, and its operating system and software, to communicate with one another. This includes details about hardware addresses and communications protocols, software installation and configuration files and, of course, the inner workings of Windows itself. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
