information is stored as binary data and is displayed in hexadecimal format.

variables that are resolved when a program or service uses the data.

values contain lists or multiple values in a form that people can read. Entries
are separated by spaces, commas, or other marks.

represented by a number that is a 64-bit integer. This data is displayed in the

Unicode string naming a symbolic link.

selected key. A full resource descriptor is a series of nested arrays designed
to store a resource list for a hardware component or driver.

current values are overwritten. For example, if

value currently exists in the workstation's registry. If the registry value does
not exist, it is created.
