Understanding the Windows Registry

10 years later but this video is still relevant 😂

Watching in 2024. Great Lecture! Thank you!

I messed up my registry and do not have a backup or restore point, tried clean reinstalling windows but the issues are still there that is some applications and games were working before the changes were made but are not working now.

As a presume we’re all proud Geeks here…I can’t stop myself from pointing out that notepad does not always save as a txt file. That wasn’t true when this was made either. To start with, rtf (possibly added after this) but I’m sure we all know that .bat works and there’s others as well. In a technical lesson about the registry it seems strange that he wouldn’t be clear that he’s presumably meaning “by default”. He’s specific with the other terms so that was strange to me.

Thank you professor.

Very insightful video! As a fairly new tech, I am just learning how to navigate and troubleshoot the registry. This training has worked out well so far.

MORE RESPECT TO
THIS PROFFESOR! :)

He is an unbelievable amazing teacher

The best teacher i've ever seen

Thumbs up. Lovely and amazing lecturer.

windows registry is shit. things disappear for no reason. microsoft is a monopoly, computers must be blank and people must decide which operating system they want. lenux is much, much better, much robust and faster.

linux uses .conf extension not .txt... you can see text files in linux... txt files are not system files... i just keep editing as i run into false claims, nothing in linux is hidden. oh yes, im gonna get into that data centre

Awesome! It's rare to see such an amazing teacher in this era.

what a great teaching

This in an Awesome presentation, Thank you.

Best lecture of all time.thank you sir

Help me I mistakenly change the security registry and add all app preferences to full control and restart my pc... Now my start button, search bar, sound, settings not opening showing access denied or something😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Great explanation. someone get my boy in the back a tissue though

what a bless this teacher is; very lucky those students; want to follow all his teachings; any other lecture by this same teacher?

thank you such a great teacher!

What a fantastic teacher!

👍👍👍👍

Amazing lecture , lets play with our registries :D

Is this material outdated now?? Win10 reg is all default and numbers for true or false.....

Very informative

Excellent video. Superb instructor. Thank you.

Had me dying.
Good to have a light-hearted take on what is really a slog of a topic. Great lecture.

thanks for sharing public.

great video, is this like teaching to group of 5 year olds... funny ha ha... thanks smart guy... 007 no time to die spy Q stuff, jeepers creepers scary...:/

very nice :)

I have a problem with my WiFi when I start my PC it works fine but after 10 or 15 minutes it shuts off and I cannot turn it back on , in network connection it stays gray & what ever I do it won't turn on only when I restart my PC it turns back on !!!! Please help me if you can

You are really a fantastic instructor I have ever seen. Very cool, sound and calm.

you can see txt files in linux with ls -la so if it is hidden as system file then you will be able to see it as it lists all files including hidden ones.

i wish i was in that class room

i am the 201th comment

This guy was fantastic. Great information here completely for free. Thanks man!

Thanks for the intro. I'm getting ready to edit the registry because I need a specific application to prefer IPv4 to work properly.

This provided a great intro so I have some idea of what I'm looking at and how to protect my computer from the potential stupid mistakes I will probably make in such a critical part of the computer. I'll be following a tutorial but I didn't want to be making changes blindly.

This was entirely engaging. Amazing lecture

Thanks a lot for explaining Windows Registry in such a way. 👍👍

loved your video Thanks for making such good video

9 Mins in... by far this fella is one of the best lecturers I've ever encountered.

Great lectures Mr Vanderpool! Thank you for airing them online and providing people with an opportunity to further develop their knowledge and skills!

Very info-rich video. Also really like your style. Well done and thank you sir - this is invaluable.

LOVED THIS!!!

why didnt I get a lecturer like this :(

Unicode and efficiency are in conflict. The vast majority of technical strings in the registry have no need for multiculturalism but still often end up using twice as much space in classic 16-bit unicode. GUIDs have been part of the Microsoft universe from the beginning. They could have a binary data type for those to save space as well. Also I don't believe the registry always resides in physical memory. That was not possible in days of 32-64 MB PCs with the registry around 1-2 megs. I laughed at the exciting 64-bit integers.

You can see text files on Linux....I'm not sure what he means by "you can't see your notepad file in Linux"...It'd show up just like everything else! Furthermore, some configuration files are indeed visible in the file explorer. Some are hidden to prevent damage, others simply to reduce clutter.

im a 53 yo IT newbie, and this was explained from the beginner level, VERY WELL DONE!
