HACK ANYTHING WITH THE WINDOWS REGISTRY
Received wisdom advises that you shouldn’t go messing around in the Windows Registry, just as it’s best not to fiddle under the bonnet of your car. This is because unless you know what you’re doing, you could cause more damage than good. However, just as tuning your car’s engine can significantly boost your vehicle’s power and performance, so tweaking the Registry can optimise and speed up your PC. In this feature, we lift the lid on the nerve centre of the Windows operating system to demonstrate why you should hack the Windows Registry, how you can do so safely and the best changes you can make to customise and improve your computer. We also explain how to back up the Registry before making changes, in case something goes wrong; how to choose the best third-party tweaking tools; and how to create your own Registry hacks for running on multiple PCs.
