This section provides a tutorial example on how to view registry values for the FreeCell game program, which stores game play statistics of each user in the registry.
The next exercise is to view registry values related to FreeCell:
1. Start "regedit.exe".
2. Follow the registry key tree and locate the first FreeCell registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Applets\FreeCell
You should see 7 registry values under the "FreeCell" key as shown this picture:
3. If you have played FreeCell before, you know that those registry values are recorded by FreeCell as your personal game scores.
4. Start FreeCell, then click menu "Game > Statistics". You will see your game play scores as shown in this picture:
If you read your game statistics carefully, you will see that those numbers are actually stored as registry values under the "FreeCell" registry key. For example, "Total won: 79" is stored as registry value of "won" with a data of "4f" which is the Hex number of "79"
