# Introduction

winreg is a Lua binary module to Access Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Registry. The registry is a 

system-defined database that applications and Microsoft(R) Windows(R) system components use to 

store and retrieve configuration data.

Load the module via the require function (make sure Lua can find the module), for example: 

```lua

local winreg = require"winreg"

-- prints all the special folders

hkey = winreg.openkey[[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]]

skey = hkey:openkey([[Explorer\Shell Folders]])

for name in skey:enumvalue() do

  print("\nname: " .. name

     .. "\npath: " .. skey:getvalue(name))

end

```
