Windows registry:

A central hierarchical database in Windows used to store information necessary to configure the system for one or more users, applications, and hardware devices. The registry contains information that is constantly referenced during operation, such as profiles for each user, the applications installed on the computer; and the types of documents each can create, property sheet settings for folders and application icons, what hardware exists on the system; and which ports are being used.

thanx for tellin me that 'sunshine' but i think thats a little too complicated for me 2 understand.......can u or anyone else plz explain it in understandable ENGLISH (lol) ???.....or is that the simplest it can become

Its like a big file that programs use to store things like settings.
But it is a seperate part of windows and has its own program to browse it (regedit). Also you can only use certain data types.
This is an example of a registry "folder"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchou\MsgPlus2\RegisteredPlugins

Each "folder" can have different "keys" which are like files, and thats what your store data in.

...ahh now its a little more clear .... (thnx)...but .....quote:

...... with msg plus u can install plugins thru the registery (which look something like  that quote)....and i wanna know how i can acces the windows registery to install these plugins????.......and how to install them????.......and if there r ANy risks involved ????

Well most plugins will either do it themselves or include a "registary file" (.reg) that adds it with out you doing anything.
Anyway, unless you know your way around playing with the registary is dangerous and could distroy windows.

If you dont know how to access the registry, you probably shouldnt be there. It is QUITE easy to break windows by changing settings in there. Also there are no "extra plugins". Merely a listing of features that Patchou didnt put in preferances for some reason.
