Windows Registry Key Names

Stephan Pringle Tuesday, August 12, 2014

Below are five (5) top level Windows Registry key names.

HKCR = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKU = HKEY_USERS
HKCC = HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

Once you launch the regedit command, these key names will appear and will show sub key names once you drill down with the keyboard or mouse.

The following two tabs change content below.
