Understanding Hives

Posted by The Beyand | 12:16 AM | 0 comments »

The registry is divided into parts called hives. These hives are mapped to a single file and
a .LOG file. These files are in the systemroot\system32\config directory.
Although I am not gauranteeing that these files will be easy to understand, with a little
research and patience, you will learn what you want to learn. I have been asked to write a
file on how to decipher the contents of those files, but I have yet to decide weather I will
do it or not.



QuickNotes



Ownership = The ownership menu item presents a dialog box that identifies the user who
owns the selected registry key. The owner of a key can permit another user to take
ownership of a key. In addition, a system administrator can assign a user the right to take
ownership, or outright take ownership himself.



REGINI.EXE = This utility is a character based console application that you can use to
add keys to the NT registry by specifying a Registry script.
