How Registry Hacks Work

• Security Hacks: A security hack is a command typelocated in the registry that controls the access to certainapplications by other people that are using your computer. Althoughthere are other ways to restrict access to areas of your computer, asecurity hack provides an additional security enhancement by providingthe capability to disable the hidden administrator account. This is anaccount that exists in your operating system in addition to the usualadministrator account. Anyone that understands the operating system cangain access to areas you have restricted through this hidden account.

• CPU Time Saver: During usual computer operationsthere are several different programs using the central processing unitsimultaneously. When the programs are operating at the same time,Windows will distribute a period of CPU time before moving on to thenext application. This design is incorporated into the operating systemto allow your PC to run faster, however, sometimes there is a longertime span between switching applications. The CPU registry hack sets alonger duration for the central processing unit before it moves to thenext application.

• Encryption Hack: A few versions of the Windowsoperating systems allow you to encrypt files although it is a processthat involves a lot of steps. Deploying an encryption registry hackcuts back on the complexity of file encryption by providing a moreefficient method for encrypting your files.

• Hard Drive Access Hack: Some of the versions ofthe Windows operating systems take longer to access the hard drive ifit contains a massive amount of data and files. You can speed up thetime it takes to access the hard drive by deploying a hard drive accesshack.
