it just occured to me that I have no idea just where the "registry"
is. Can someone tell me just where this mysterious "registry" is
stored in Windows?

The WinXP registry can be found in C:\Windows\System32\Config\.
It'll be divided into several data files, such as Security, Software,
and System. The user-specific portion of the registry is stored in each
user profile, in a file named NTUser.dat.

Thanks to you also Bruce.
