On Windows 10, the Registry is a critical database that stores low-level settings that are essential for the OS and many applications. Although you can use it to change numerous settings on your computer (such as stopping Windows auto updates and blocking users from changing the desktop wallpaper), it's never wise to edit this database unless you know exactly what you're doing, because a tiny mistake can result in many problems.

Messing around in the Windows Registry can cause all kinds of problems if you’re not careful. If you share your PC with others, you can prevent less experienced users from accessing and editing the Registry.

You can also disable access to the mother of all administrative tools—Registry Editor—if you’d prefer not everyone be able to get into it. Here’s how.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).
