To manually edit the registry, you need to open the registry editor, which is inevitable. So how to open the registry editor? Is there any way to open a new version of the registry editor on a NT architecture system? This article will answer your questions in detail.
The first one to appear is Win98/Me. Because there is no big difference between Win98 and WinMe, we will talk about it here. There is only one registry editor in Win98/Me, which is the most "original" one. The reason for saying it is that it has no security restrictions, that is, its registry editor can be opened by any user without any permission restrictions. This is mainly because the usage object of Win98/Me is a general stand-alone user and does not require permission restriction, which is very different from NT/2000/XP. How to open:
1. The easiest way: Start - just enter regedit during run.
2. Another method: find it in the Windows directory and can be opened by double-clicking directly. Then Win2000/XP appeared. Because 2000/XP has added the concept of permissions during design, there are two ways to open the registry editor in these two systems. One is to directly enter regedit in the start-running, and the interface appears is the same as 98/Me. I won't explain in detail here. Another way to open it is the key content of this article - the registry editor with permission restrictions (opening method: start--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As shown in the figure (here is a screenshot of WinXP, the screenshots under Win2000 are the same as WinXP).
You can see in Figure 1 that when you select a key value, you can see an option - permissions under the Edit drop-down menu. After clicking this option with the mouse, the window in Figure 2 will appear. Click each user group separately with the mouse to see different permission restrictions. If you think the rights of a certain user group are too high, you can modify the permissions below (Note: the Administrators group user must be given full permissions, otherwise once you or the corresponding software and drivers want to modify the registry, but since all group users do not have permission to modify, you will not be able to install successfully. Therefore, the full permissions must be given to the Administrators group user (system default). Figure 3 is the permissions owned by the Administrators group user. After reading these, I think everyone should know how to correctly open the registry editor. If you are not clear, please see the table below.

Operating system version Opening method Notes
Win98/98SE/Me Running Input Because 98/ME does not have any valid permission restriction function, any user has full control over the registry.
Win2000/XP 1. Input in progress
2. Enter while running. The registry editor opened with the first method is the same as the interface under Win98, and the functions are the same. There is no place to set permissions, but the registry editor opened with the second method can be conveniently set permissions. If you are a network administrator, it is recommended that you use the second method to open the registry editor after installing the system, and then modify the permission settings that need to be modified to avoid maliciously modified by others.
