I have accidentally overwritten Windows 7 registry with Windows 98 registry before. Had to reinstall. This was during GTA Vice City registry patch. Should have checked .reg file before executing it lol.
6:40 All of those backup files have 0KB size. I guess the installation was so fresh it didn't have a moment to actually make a proper registry backup, so there were empty files instead. And, well, you replaced registry files that still had something in them with completely empty 0KB ones, and you broke it even more. lol
PikachuPL registry is backed up as part of System Restore feature, to my understanding. I would ensure system restore is turned on for your PC if you are seeing no registry backups
You guys clearly don't know what a database is. He even said in the video that it's basically a database for all of windows settings. Your feeble minds turned it into the nearest thing you could associate since you seen drop downs and folder icons. The windows registry hive is presented like that with a graphical tool to make for easy navigation, it's a structured set of data with settings presented to you with a gui.
I mean, I'm pretty familiar with how databases work. I've written a DB implementation based on an AVL tree. Filesystems themselves are pretty damn similar a lot of the time. Mostly some kind of serialized tree structure on disk. The registry is very similar to the structure of a regular filesystem, although the key value pairs are restricted to a given type. So as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty much a filesystem within a filesystem, where files can have a restricted type. The access pattern would be the same, as the means to query data would be to follow a path rather than to actually query contents or keys, which is very similar to a database. It's seemingly more similar to a filesystem than a DBMS, and it's indexing would probably be very similar based on their nearly identical access patterns. Regardless filesystems within filesystems isn't uncommon, there are a lot of virtual filesystems, especially in unix and linux.
A better way to delete the registry is to delete the files itself that contain the hives. They are located in %systemroot%\System32\Config. Other registry-specific files are %userprofile%\Ntuser.dat, which contains user-specific data and %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat, which contain per-user file associations. EDIT: After I saw that ThioJoe used the "backup" of the registry hives that are 0 KB large files to "restore" the registry, he essentialy "deleted" the registry.
I really love this new style of "what if" videos you are making, because its everything that I ever wondered about Windows made into an entertaining video! Please continue this and keep up the good work my man!

There's likely no significant amount of warnings for the registry editor because it's pretty hard to get to it accidentally and figures you know what you're doing.
I remember I was following a tutorial on how to do something in registry and then I deleted the wrong folder that I should have and it ruined basically every executable, I somehow managed to look up the internet that very specific folder with its keys and reconstruct it. phew.
It was funny. I was working for a company about 15 - 20 years ago and after development getting DLLs from a repository and registering new versions there was a lot of bloated unused stuff in the registry. One of our 'more brilliant' developers 'Nole' wrote his own regclean application to clean up the crap left in there. He walked over with it on a floppy and gave it to a more senior developer and said he had tested it etc. The person took the floppy, and his word and ran it on his computer... and that was the end of that computer. The regclean apparently completely (I mean completely) deleted everything out of the registry so the OS could no longer find parts of the OS itself. It is a story that lives on -- long after the person left...
I tried going into the registry in a vm and after I deleted some folders I started changing everything to 69. It showed the same error as in the video when booting up.
I have a program I got years ago (more designed for network computers) and it was called RegTool (not related to any of the virus programs or current programs of the same name) It allowed the user to search across keys and values, delete/replace globally across the registry, create/backup restore different versions of the registry and compare registries (presumably to diagnose a faulty computer I assume) My Windows 98SE had slowed down considerably over the years and I found quite quickly that uninstall does not remove many keys and values from the registry. I used this tool to search and remove them and then used a registry cleaner to mop up after. I ended up with at least half the number of keys and values and the speed was dramatically improved. It too had a disclaimer including an example someone that tried doing search and replace changing every instance of the word "Windows" with something else...the warning was "you WILL destroy Windows...count on it".
I'm not sure deleting the whole registry from the registry editor is a good approach. I think what you'd want to do is just delete whatever files the registry is stored in completely (using another OS if needed), and get the same effect for a lot less work. That said, I wonder what parts of the registry could be deleted without making Windows unbootable? What would be the minimum configuration needed to get it running? I would say it's definitely possible to get that installation working again, though. The main thing keeping it from getting any further into the boot process is the total lack of understanding what kind of hardware it's even running on. Windows basically has no idea what kind of chipset drivers to even use to read the hard drive once control is handed off from the BIOS now. Deleting the registry now is like if you deleted the WIN.INI file in Windows 3.11 that tells Windows what video card driver to use, only worse because there's no DOS underneath it running IO.SYS. So if you really wanted to get the installation back, you would only need a working copy of the registry from an installation of Windows on equivalent hardware. The easiest way to get that would be to reinstall Windows on another hard drive using the same machine, then take that version of the registry and put it into the broken installation. Granted, you would have to do more work to get programs dependent on the registry that didn't come with Windows to work again, entering and creating a bunch of registry keys they require by hand, but it can be done. A fresh installation of Windows would certainly be easier, but if you can get access to the file system, you can fix it eventually.
6:25 if u did this on a fresh install you had to make sure system restore was on as those 'backup' registry files u used were ZERO Kb. you need to create a system restore point which gets created the minute u install an update or anything significant like office. so you could ha e fixed this, you jua5 didnt prep for the video i guess or simply sisnt know this little nuget of undocumented info also system restore is not always on by default on a fresh inatall of windows especially with the many flavours of 10 from memory 1509 had it off after a fresh load but turned on after updating. had u ran system restore by invoking it from winpe you would have fixed this. wildows is pretty hard to break.

The registry was introduced in Windows 3.11, but wasn't fully used until Windows 95. Windows is the only operating system, that I know off, that uses a registry. I am careful when I make a change in the registry.

On the one hand, it's great fun to see what happens if the Registry is deleted.

It's for reasons like this that if something bad was to happen to my computer that I right away ordered backup recovery software from my computers manufacture so I could do a factory reset if the worst was to happen. This way I don't have to pay a computer shop to reinstall my operating system. I always store my data on external storage. So I never have to worry about losing that info. And even so, every couple of years I like to do a fresh install of my operating system to help wipe out all the garbage that doesn't normally get deleted during normal maintenance cycles.

5:50 At first when I saw that moving black dot on the computer screen, I thought there was an actual flying bug on my computer screen, but when I paused and replayed that part of the video, I realized that it's just part of the video and not an insect.
6:45 well yeah, of course the registry backup didn't do anything. You overwrote the registry with 0-byte files. You deleted even more of the registry, permanently by doing that. There was over 100MB of registry that you overwrote with empty files lol
Deleting whatever you want may or may not work. However, I believe all the subordinate keys to HKC/HKLM are owned by Administrators, which is why you can delete them (regedit.exe is type-2 privileged process, so it will request elevation if the current user is a member of Administrators), as you are using a process token that is a member of Administrators. Certain entries in the tree though are owned by TrustedInstaller, so you have to take ownership to modify them directly.

It's for reasons like this that if something bad was to happen to my computer that I right away ordered backup recovery software from my computers manufacture so I could do a factory reset if the worst was to happen. This way I don't have to pay a computer shop to reinstall my operating system. I always store my data on external storage. So I never have to worry about losing that info. And even so, every couple of years I like to do a fresh install of my operating system to help wipe out all the garbage that doesn't normally get deleted during normal maintenance cycles.
Hey thio try to run 100 viruses in your virtual machine
Yesne of this REGISTERS with my mind.
Windows "uh what a great day"
ThioJoe "deleting everything"

Gigabites "999999999 GB"

Windows "no don't do it"
ThioJeo "presses button""bye Windows

ThioJoe: Deletes everything
Apps: *Noooooo*

The 1:46 example of keys and values is equivalent to variables, Variables have a name(key), and some data(value) to store in itself
My suggestion: What if you delete intel folder? or dell (acer, whatever computer you are using) folder? I'm pretty curious
None of this REGISTERS with my mind.
No.

What might it look like if you could delete every single file that *isn't* critical to running the system?
Stuff like icon art and maybe secondary backup files
Torvic Is Santa lol it'd be kinda funny, usable but ugly

5:50 At first when I saw that moving black dot on the computer screen, I thought there was an actual flying bug on my computer screen, but when I paused and replayed that part of the video, I realized that it's just part of the video and not an insect.
What if you deleted everything
The boot partition would be practically unrecoverable, And you’d need a completely new setup.

Do I have to buy a new computer for Win 10 or can I overwrite Win 7 on my current computer?

And Hey 5:58 A BCD FILES ARE DELETED
Have you tried putting the computer in rice?
6:45 well yeah, of course the registry backup didn't do anything. You overwrote the registry with 0-byte files. You deleted even more of the registry, permanently by doing that. There was over 100MB of registry that you overwrote with empty files lol
Could you make it bootable by pasting in the registry files from a different Windows installation?
7:00 What happens when you insert a windows recovery disc?
Deleting whatever you want may or may not work. However, I believe all the subordinate keys to HKC/HKLM are owned by Administrators, which is why you can delete them (regedit.exe is type-2 privileged process, so it will request elevation if the current user is a member of Administrators), as you are using a process token that is a member of Administrators. Certain entries in the tree though are owned by TrustedInstaller, so you have to take ownership to modify them directly.

Very good videos. You pose questions that I wonder about, but that I don't have the nerve or knowledge to find out. In the process, I learn more from you about how to get the best out of my computer.
