That being said, the Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores the hardware/software configuration and system security information. After you access the registry, you will notice that its console tree (on the left-hand side) consists of five registry keys known as hives (that is HKEYs): HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR), HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM), HKEY_USERS (HKU), and HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (HKCC).
  10. Services are background services that keep alive the OS. When accessing services through the Services Control Manager, you will notice that, for each service, there is a description that helps us to understand its purpose. Each service has the following start-up types: Automatic, Automatic (Delayed start), Manual, and Disable.
