Explain how your computer installs programs and where technical information is stored.

What will be an ideal response?


For local software on a computer running Windows, the installation process copies files from a download site or distribution CD to your computer's hard disk, adds the software's name to the Start screen, and provides Windows with technical information needed to efficiently run the new software.

Information about newly installed software is stored on the hard disk in a special file called the Windows Registry that keeps track of all the hardware and software installed on your computer. You can envision the Registry as a hotel register that keeps track of guests who check in and check out.
