Why each option
The Windows Registry is a centralized hierarchical configuration database organized into hives, first broadly introduced with Windows 95 as a replacement for fragmented INI files.
The registry is physically and logically divided into sections called hives (e.g., HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER), each stored as a discrete set of files on disk.
Windows 95 was the operating system that introduced the registry as a comprehensive, centralized configuration store to replace the fragmented .ini file system used in earlier Windows versions.
The registry functions as a centralized hierarchical database that stores all configuration settings for the operating system, installed hardware, installed software, and user preferences on a Windows computer.
SCANREG was a registry backup and repair utility available in Windows 98 and ME; the correct tools for directly editing registry keys and values are regedit.exe and regedt32.exe.
