Yes, but that's you. :-)
For those who are unaware, it's best to follow those "No Trespassing"
signs posted in regedit, and stay away. :-)



I used to break stuff as a kid. Once you're in (and he's in) there's only one
way out. Get familiar so you can come and go without breaking stuff.

Think of the registry as like a museum. Imagine fat blue ropes keeping the
fragile glass cases safe from close approach. Looking is usually harmless,
just got to resist the temptation to touch. Or get a method of reliable
backup/restore. Seriously. it wasn't because I wanted to explore that I got
Ghost, registry backups, etc. it was because I knew there'd be times when I
didn't, and just wanted a safe way to go. Either way, not looking makes no
sense. We might see stuff that scares us but we won't get bitten in the arse.
