Obviously the registry is an essential part of the Windows operating system. It's basically a big database of low-level settings for Windows, including everything from the taskbar transparency, to the background login image, to settings in 3rd party programs. Deleting it would ruin the computer, but what exactly would that look like? This video is a real live demonstration and test on what will happen!

    A better way to delete the registry is to delete the files itself that contain the hives. They are located in %systemroot%\System32\Config. Other registry-specific files are %userprofile%\Ntuser.dat, which contains user-specific data and %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat, which contain per-user file associations. EDIT: After I saw that ThioJoe used the "backup" of the registry hives that are 0 KB large files to "restore" the registry, he essentialy "deleted" the registry.

    6:40 All of those backup files have 0KB size. I guess the installation was so fresh it didn't have a moment to actually make a proper registry backup, so there were empty files instead. And, well, you replaced registry files that still had something in them with completely empty 0KB ones, and you broke it even more. lol

    You guys clearly don't know what a database is. He even said in the video that it's basically a database for all of windows settings. Your feeble minds turned it into the nearest thing you could associate since you seen drop downs and folder icons. The windows registry hive is presented like that with a graphical tool to make for easy navigation, it's a structured set of data with settings presented to you with a gui.

    I mean, I'm pretty familiar with how databases work. I've written a DB implementation based on an AVL tree. Filesystems themselves are pretty damn similar a lot of the time. Mostly some kind of serialized tree structure on disk. The registry is very similar to the structure of a regular filesystem, although the key value pairs are restricted to a given type. So as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty much a filesystem within a filesystem, where files can have a restricted type. The access pattern would be the same, as the means to query data would be to follow a path rather than to actually query contents or keys, which is very similar to a database. It's seemingly more similar to a filesystem than a DBMS, and it's indexing would probably be very similar based on their nearly identical access patterns. Regardless filesystems within filesystems isn't uncommon, there are a lot of virtual filesystems, especially in unix and linux.

    I have a program I got years ago (more designed for network computers) and it was called RegTool (not related to any of the virus programs or current programs of the same name) It allowed the user to search across keys and values, delete/replace globally across the registry, create/backup restore different versions of the registry and compare registries (presumably to diagnose a faulty computer I assume) My Windows 98SE had slowed down considerably over the years and I found quite quickly that uninstall does not remove many keys and values from the registry. I used this tool to search and remove them and then used a registry cleaner to mop up after. I ended up with at least half the number of keys and values and the speed was dramatically improved. It too had a disclaimer including an example someone that tried doing search and replace changing every instance of the word "Windows" with something else...the warning was "you WILL destroy Windows...count on it".

    It's for reasons like this that if something bad was to happen to my computer that I right away ordered backup recovery software from my computers manufacture so I could do a factory reset if the worst was to happen. This way I don't have to pay a computer shop to reinstall my operating system. I always store my data on external storage. So I never have to worry about losing that info. And even so, every couple of years I like to do a fresh install of my operating system to help wipe out all the garbage that doesn't normally get deleted during normal maintenance cycles.

    It was funny. I was working for a company about 15 - 20 years ago and after development getting DLLs from a repository and registering new versions there was a lot of bloated unused stuff in the registry. One of our 'more brilliant' developers 'Nole' wrote his own regclean application to clean up the crap left in there. He walked over with it on a floppy and gave it to a more senior developer and said he had tested it etc. The person took the floppy, and his word and ran it on his computer... and that was the end of that computer. The regclean apparently completely (I mean completely) deleted everything out of the registry so the OS could no longer find parts of the OS itself. It is a story that lives on -- long after the person left...

    It is possible to restore the registry if it has been deleted or if a portion of it is so corrupt that the computer won't boot. The system occasionally makes backups of the registry and puts it in a very secret hidden location. (You have to search Microsoft to find out where it is located.) You need to know the location of the backup and the normal location of the registry. To restore the registry, remove the boot disk from the computer and mount it as an external drive on a different computer. Then copy the latest backup of the registry (noting the file dates) into the normal location. Put the disk back into the original computer and boot it up. If you installed any software after the date of the backup, reinstall it, and check all the settings you may have changed. You should be back in business. This is a lot easier than a complete reinstall (took me 15 minutes) and it is a good last resort before wiping the disk and starting over again.

    I'm not sure deleting the whole registry from the registry editor is a good approach. I think what you'd want to do is just delete whatever files the registry is stored in completely (using another OS if needed), and get the same effect for a lot less work. That said, I wonder what parts of the registry could be deleted without making Windows unbootable? What would be the minimum configuration needed to get it running? I would say it's definitely possible to get that installation working again, though. The main thing keeping it from getting any further into the boot process is the total lack of understanding what kind of hardware it's even running on. Windows basically has no idea what kind of chipset drivers to even use to read the hard drive once control is handed off from the BIOS now. Deleting the registry now is like if you deleted the WIN.INI file in Windows 3.11 that tells Windows what video card driver to use, only worse because there's no DOS underneath it running IO.SYS. So if you really wanted to get the installation back, you would only need a working copy of the registry from an installation of Windows on equivalent hardware. The easiest way to get that would be to reinstall Windows on another hard drive using the same machine, then take that version of the registry and put it into the broken installation. Granted, you would have to do more work to get programs dependent on the registry that didn't come with Windows to work again, entering and creating a bunch of registry keys they require by hand, but it can be done. A fresh installation of Windows would certainly be easier, but if you can get access to the file system, you can fix it eventually.

    On the one hand, it's great fun to see what happens if the Registry is deleted. On the other hand, it's pathetic that one of the largest pieces of software in terms of lines of code, distribution, regular use at many different levels etc., relies on a virtually unprotected, outdated and poorly backed-up 'tissue paper' database. How old is Windows now (rhetorical question)? Old enough for under-grad kind of trash such as this to have been developed out of it. Is the Registry in the Enterprise edition so exposed to destruction? I use Erunt to back my Registry up at the start and end of each session. I keep the backups off-machine, but to be honest, I don't know that even Erunt saves the Registry in full, YMMV.
