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.

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"
quote:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchou\MsgPlus2\RegisteredPlugins
Each "folder" can have different "keys" which are like files, and thats what your store data in.

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.
