How to really learn Windows from a technical perspective?
2 projects | /r/learnprogramming | 19 Feb 2021

A very old, segmented "hive" of numeric and string settings that allow tweaking of Windows internals, services, Group Policy, and any programs that choose to use it for key-value storage. It's also where the system remembers which configuration options are per-user or per-device, and where apps are installed if they are installed at all. If you run "portable" apps (bare binaries, or archives of programs distributed with some included DLLs that simply sit in the same folder and don't need admin to execute) they may never touch the registry, and opt instead to use Linux-like config files in . or in special folders like %APPDATA%. Registry entries have ACLs, and you can get at the registry entries almost like they are files in folders using Win32 APIs, but they aren't necessary unless you're already in the ecosystem (Windows administration or Microsoft-specific development) that uses such things. If you really need an installable program but no other function of the registry, there are installer-builders (e.g. https://github.com/electron/windows-installer) that do this sort of thing for you without any expert knowledge of Win32 paradigms or registry structures.
