Chapter 18. Working with the Windows Hom... > Navigating the Registry
Navigating the Registry
The Registry Editor is reminiscent of Windows Explorer, and it works in basically the same way. The left side of the Registry Editor window is similar to Explorer’s Folders pane, except that rather than folders, you see keys. In this chapter, I’ll call the left pane the Keys pane.
Caution
The Registry Editor is arguably the most dangerous tool in the Windows Home Server arsenal. The Registry is so crucial to the smooth functioning of Windows Home Server that a single imprudent change to a Registry entry can bring your system to its knees. Therefore, just because you have the Registry Editor open, don’t start tweaking settings willy-nilly. Instead, read the section titled “Keeping the Registry Safe,” later in this chapter, for some advice on protecting this precious and sensitive resource.
