Some common value types are string values, binary values, DWORD (32-bit) values, QWORD (64-bit) values and multi-string values. Values are associated with different types according to their use. Values are similar to files they are objects determined by their name and contained data, existing in a specific registry key. The folders in the registry are called registry keys, and all stored data is located somewhere in those keys and their subkeys, in the form of registry values. These hives contain folders, which in turn contain subfolders, and so on, resulting in several paths in the registry. The registry’s root folders are called registry hives, and in essence split the whole registry into different categories. The registry is structured similarly to the file explorer in Windows: there are folders (keys), subfolders (subkeys) and files (values). Windows Registry is a big database in Windows which stores all sorts of information and configurations regarding the operating system, applications, hardware devices, users and virtually anything that is used within Windows.
