- nicce 4y agoOf course it is the fault of program, but as design registry is thought to be always there, self-evident, so it is partially the problem. It encourages to rely on it totally.
- dogma1138 4y agoIt doesn’t mean that it’s used correctly. The registry is intended to be used for interacting with system configuration or for system wide settings. E.G. registering a new file extension or a URI scheme. It’s not an application data store that’s what appdata is there for.
