How do I go about navigating Windows regedit?

Navigating Windows Regedit

The Windows registry, or windows regedit, isn't the most user-friendly portion of your PC, and with reason. Messing up your registry can seriously mess up your computer. Personally, I prefer to leave my registry alone whenever possible, trusting in regular PC health checks to keep the registry error free.

If you are navigating through regedit, it works on a tree system. Click on a plus sign will open more ‘branches' on the tree, while clicking a minus sign will close off branches. Be careful not to accidentally change anything as you navigate through the registry, and make a backup registry file before making any changes.
