This is quite a powerful and far reaching tool:

Just stay away from the registry, unless you know what you are doing.

Yes a lot more than you I assure you... I gave the answers and
with all the naysayers it is reasonable to believe the asker knows

Folks do not gain the skills needed to maintain a computer by never
trying to improve.
