Windows Registry and Configuration Management

Correct Answer: Regedit

The best tool to use to correct a corrupt registry key is Regedit. Regedit is the built-in Windows utility that allows users to view and edit the Windows registry. The registry contains important configuration settings for the operating system and installed applications. If a registry key becomes corrupted, it can cause various issues like a slow computer. Using Regedit, a technician can navigate to the problematic registry key and fix or delete it to resolve the issue. Disk Cleanup is used to remove unnecessary files and free up disk space, but it does not deal with registry issues. Device Manager is used to manage hardware devices and their drivers, not the registry. Task Manager is used to monitor and manage running processes and system resources, but it cannot edit the registry.

Correct Answer: Modify the key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER for that specific application

Modifying the registry key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the specific application is the best way to limit access to certain software for specific users. This allows the company to control access on a per-user basis without affecting other users or the entire system. Removing the software from the system would prevent all users from accessing it. Disabling the user account would prevent the user from accessing any software or resources on the system, not just the specific software in question. Using the System Configuration tool to disable the software would affect all users, not just specific ones.

Correct Answer: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is the correct location for startup programs for a specific user. The other locations either apply system-wide or are for one-time startup items.
