Possible Duplicate: Where is the Windows Registry Files stored? I want to know where is registry stored in windows 7? I don't want to open it with regedit. I want the actual files and way to open them(because most of the time file formats are strange).

Fix for: Where is registry stored in windows 7?
Low Risk
They are called registry hive files. They are (mostly) located in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config directory. Much more info available in the MSDN. Note: I would not touch these files with an infinitely long pole.
