Edit registry software or registry editing software comes in a software package known as a “regedit.  Regedit is contained within all Windows operating systems and can be accessed by entering its name “regedit” in the run box.  The run box is usually found at the bottom of the start command menu.

I say usually because the run box does not show up in the start menu of Windows Vista by default.  So, here is how to put the Run box in the Vista start menu:

1. Click Start and then Control Panel
2. Double Click the icon that says “Taskbar and Start Menu
3. The Taskbar and start menu properties box opens up
4. Click the tab on the top that says Start Menu
5. Click the button to the left that says “Customize”
6. Scroll down until you see “Run command”
7. Click to put a check mark in the box to the left of “Run command”
8. Click OK at the bottom of the Customize box
9. Click OK at the bottom of the  Taskbar and start menu properties box
10. Click start and notice the Run command is now in the right hand coulomb of the start menu
11. Click “Run…” and you will see the run box opened up

However, and this is a big however; there is a reason Microsoft is trying to make it difficult to use the run box.  The main reason is so we don’t use “Regedit!”  The Regedit program lays out the whole registry right before us.  This makes it possible to to enter anything into our registries or delete anything from them. 

The wrong entry made or an important one deleted from our registry could spell disaster!  In other words, one little tiny mistake could made while using Regedit could cause the operating system to lock up altogether and render our computer useless until we reformat the hard drive and re-install an operating system on it.

The bottom line is don’t fool around with Regedit.  there is no reason to.  There may be a reason why a Microsoft Certified Engineer might want to play around in Regedit but there is no reason we should.  Anything you can do in Regedit you can do in the Control Panel; like put the run command in the start menu, for instance.  Or, change screen colors and users, etc.

If there is something wrong with the registry, just use a registry cleaner, that’s all.   A registry cleaner will take care of any registry problem you may have and it will keep your PC fast and free of errors and crashes.
