CHANGE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Microsoft Help:-
Most of Windows’ configuration settings are set via a utility called the Control Panel. In reality, the Control Panel is just a folder or library that contains lots of individual configuration utilities (also called applets); it’s through these utilities that the actual configuration takes place.
Another place you find configuration options is in the Windows Registry. Without going into all the nitty gritty details, the Registry is a giant database of configuration settings for Windows and Windows applications; it’s what the operating system itself uses for configuration. Indeed, when you make a configuration change via the Control Panel, that change is stored in the Registry.
Windows starts with that user’s configuration settings and network permissions. When you want to change users, you can log off, (which closes all running programs, saves your settings, and signs you off the computer) or switch users, which quickly switches between users without having to close programs and saves your current settings.
The Windows Registry is a database in which Windows and application
programs store all manner of configuration settings, startup information,
hardware settings, user preferences, file locations, license and registration
information, last-viewed file lists, and so on. In addition, the
Registry stores the associations between file types and the applications
that use them. For example, the Registry holds the information that tells
Windows to use Media Player when you click on an MPG movie file. In
the early days of DOS and
Windows, programs stored this
kind of information in a random
collection of hundreds of files
scattered all over your hard
disk. Thankfully, those days are
only a dim memory.
The Registry is edited via a utility called the Registry Editor (or just Regedit). There’s no direct way to open this utility, however. (That’s Microsoft’s way of keeping non-techies away.) What you have to do is open the Start menu and enter regedit into the search box. The Regedit program appears in the search results list; click this item to launch the Editor.
You can configure Media Center in a number of ways. To access the configuration settings, go to the start menu and select Tasks, Settings; on the resulting Settings screen:-
- General Startup and Window Behavior Visual and Sound Effects Windows Media Center Setup Parental Controls Automatic Download Options Optimization About Windows Media Center Privacy
- TV Set Up TV Signal Configure Your TV or Monitor Language Audio Closed Captioning
- Pictures Slide Shows Slide Show Screen Saver Favorite Pictures Ratings

- DVD Language Audio Subtitle Remote Control Options
- Start Menu and Extras Start Menu Extras Library Options Extras Library Clear List of Trusted Applications
- Extender Manage Connected Media Center Extenders
- Media Libraries Manage Music, Pictures,Videos, Recorded TV, and Movies Libraries
The Tools tab of the MS Config configuration dialogue box is used to launch various reporting and diagnostic
tools found in the \Windows\System32 folder, including
the following:
- About Windows
