Ugh, the registry was etc but strictly worse. You must use a specialized, and might I add insanely crappy, tool to edit it, it can be corrupted, there is only one so you can't swap out a registry with certain features for another, the list goes on. The registry deserves every bit of guff it ever got.
- stephengillie 11y agoI've got multiple Registry editing tools: Regedit - which has an OK UI. Powershell - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd315270.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd315270.aspx WMI - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394600(v=vs.85).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394600(v=vs.85).a... And different Hives live in different places. The user Hives live in each user's profile folder, so that part gets swapped out depending on whose security context you're in.
- rodgerd 11y ago> Ugh, the registry was etc but strictly worse. Really? On which versions of Windows does the registry include executables critical to system function?

- PhantomGremlin 11y agoDon't know if they've changed it since OpenBSD 5.2, but /etc is very critical there. E.g. man page synopsys for just two programs: /etc/rc - command scripts for system startup /etc/netstart - command script for network startup There are countless others there. /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, etc (pun intended).
- rodgerd 11y agoSunOS certainly did, Solaris does, AIX has at various points... probably the majority of Unix variants, in fact.
