Just under MyComputer are several root keys. An installation can add keys and values to any root key of the registry. The rootkeys that are typically affected by installations are:• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE• HKEY_USERS• HKEY_CURRENT_USER• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTA key is a named location in the registry. A key can contain a subkey, a value name and value pair, and a default(unnamed) value. A value name and value pair is a two-part data structure under a key. The value name identifies avalue for storage under a key, and the value is the actual data associated with a value name. When a value name isunspecified for a value, that value is the default value for that key. Each key can have only one default (unnamed)value.Note that the terms key and subkey are relative. In the registry, a key that is below another key can be referred to asa subkey or as a key, depending on how you want to refer to it relative to another key in the registry hierarchy.Adding or Deleting Registry Keys and ValuesEditing the registry on the Registry page is performed much like it is performed on the InstallShield RegistryView.
