regedit
Windows configuration tool
Regedit is the Windows Registry Editor, a built-in utility for viewing and modifying the Windows Registry—the database that stores system configuration settings, user preferences, and software information.
Be careful editing the registry with regedit—one wrong change can break your system.
The tool is powerful but risky; incorrect edits can render Windows unbootable.
