If you don't already know, then you would be best advised to NOT enter
that area of your computer. It's called the REGISTRY and is the one
place you want to stay out of without a COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW IT
WORKS. Deleting one wrong item in the registry can render your computer
unbootable and require a complete reinstall of Windows.
