256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry

SUMMARY

In Windows NT 4.0, you can remotely control and configure Windows 95 registry settings. This is accomplished by installing the Remote Registry service (available on the Windows 95 CD-ROM in the Admin/Nettools folder) on both the local computer and the remote Windows 95-based computer. User-level security and remote administration must be enabled on the Windows 95-based computer.

Additional information regarding Remote Administration can be found in the Windows 95 Resource Kit.

To control and configure registry settings, you must run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

  1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
  2. Type regedt32.exe, and then click OK.
  3. From the Registry menu, select Connect Network Registry.
