Agree, it’s not recommended to edit the registry when you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, less in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, it’s very easy to have to re-install the OS because of an total crash.
That’s not because the registry is important or powerful. It’s the opposite. Microsoft designs their shitty operating systems to always assume the registry is perfect. Question nothing. Everything is literal. There is no sanity checking or error handling. So if something is off about the registry, the OS will just shrug and blue screen.
