I have been asked this question more than once, although I have talked about it in many articles. In order not to post a link to an article every time, where in the middle or end you can read about opening the registry, I decided to make step by step guide. From the title of the article, you probably already guessed that we will talk about how to open the registry in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
First, it’s worth saying what it is. The registry is a kind of database of settings that contains many settings for all applications, and it also contains all the parameters of your Windows.
Windows 7
How to open Registry Editor in Windows 7? Opening the registry in Windows 7 is not as difficult as it seems. The simplest and quick way for novice users - use the search in the Start menu. Having opened this menu and entered regedit into the search bar, feel free to click on the program that appears. This is the registry editor.
There are more long way open it. Go to C:\Windows\, in this folder open the file regedit.exe.
Very important. Now you understand how to open the registry, but if you are a novice user, then before you make changes to the registry, you need to do backup copy! If you change something incorrectly or delete it, the next time you turning on Windows may not load. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful not to get into an awkward situation. If you find some instructions on the Internet that recommend you change something in the registry, then follow these instructions.
If you Windows user 7, then read the article to the end. Below I will tell you how I open the registry.
Windows 8
Now let's figure out how to open the registry in Windows 8. Opening the registry in Windows 8 is similar to Windows 7, but since Windows 8 does not have a Start button (unless you installed it yourself, of course), there are slight differences. The fastest way, which works on both systems, is to use hotkeys. But since many users do not use them, I described above more primitive methods for beginners. But I recommend to everyone the method that I will tell you below. By the way, it also works in Windows XP and Windows 7.
Press “Win” + “R”, this key combination will open the “Run” window, type regedit into it, press Enter and that’s it, the registry is open.
In the screenshot below you can see what the registry looks like:
If you need the registry to clean it from unnecessary keys, then for this there are programs for removing unnecessary keys, the most common being CCleaner.

The popular question “how to check if a port is open” is relevant for both experienced gamers and novice system administrators. Accordingly, before opening ports on a computer running Windows XP, 7 or 8, you need to decide on the ultimate goal of this “enterprise” and which ports need to be opened. For example, for Skype this is port 433 and 80, and for the mega-popular game Minecraft you will need to open port 25565.
In itself, “opening ports” does not cause any damage to your computer: its security will depend on what program uses and “listens” on it and how.
To further protect yourself, you can view statistics on the ports most vulnerable to viruses and hacking.
For example, most companies providing services information security, they recommend paying attention to port numbers: 21, 23, 25, 80, 1026, 1028, 1243, 137, 139, 555, 666, 1001, 1025, 7000, 8080, 12345, 31337, 31338.
In other words, open ports- like open doors to the harsh world of high technology, so you shouldn’t open everything without knowing who and for what purpose this port can be used.
How to find out which ports are open on a Windows 7 computer?
Once the target has been determined and the list of ports has been “agreed”, it is necessary to check whether the port is currently open. To do this, you can use the Command Line:
Open Command Prompt and enter the command “netstat -a”;
In response to the command, Windows OS will present a list of all open “TCP” and “UPD” ports;
The "Status" column will indicate what is happening with this port:
- - “Listening” - that is, the port is “listening”. In other words, some program monitors the activities of a given port;
- - “Established” - the port is open and in use;
- - “Time wait” - the port is in standby mode: i.e. the program using it is preparing to put the port into one of the specified states.
Currently, there are quite a lot of services that allow you to check whether ports are open or not: for example, it has earned the trust of users online check"2ip". To check, you just need to enter the port number and click “check”.
So, having decided how to view open ports, now calmly open the desired port.
How to open a port in windows 7 firewall?
The easiest way to open the required port on your computer is to use the built-in Windows Firewall:
- (“Start” - “Control Panel”);
In the column on the left " Additional settings» The Windows Firewall in mode window will open. increased security»;
- - click “Rule for incoming connection” and in the “Actions” section ( Right side window) select “Create rule”;
- - the “Rule Creation Wizard” will open: from the list presented, select “For a port” and click “Next”;
Below is the line “Specified local ports”: this is where you need to register the port to open (or range of ports) and click “Next”;
- - the “Actions” section will open, in which select “Allow connection” - since you need to open a port on the computer;
- after which all you have to do is enter the name of the created rule and, if desired, fill out a description.
If the firewall is configured incorrectly, this may occur, which we discussed in one of the previous articles.
This is the easiest way to open ports on windows computer 7. No secret knowledge or secrets of network magic are required for this action, it is only important to know which port needs to be opened and in which protocol it is used.
How to open a port via Windows command line?
However, the ability to open a port through a firewall is far from the only method that can be used. You can also open ports on your computer using the “Command Line”: it is not difficult, but this approach requires basic knowledge of the structure and functional part of the “netsh” command.
So open it command line with “Administrator rights” and enter the command “netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=L2TP_TCP protocol=TCP localport=xxxx action=allow dir=IN”
The command structure includes the following parameters:
- - the name "L2TP_TCP" is tunnel protocol second level (abbreviation “L2TP” literally “Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol”);
- - “protocol=TCP” means which protocol the port being opened belongs to: if it is for UPD, then after the “equals” symbol it is necessary to write this abbreviation;
- - “localport=xxxx” instead of “x” indicate the number of the port to open.
Thus, opening a port on a computer is quite simple, and everyone can choose the most convenient method for themselves. The only advantage of using Windows Firewall is that step-by-step setup with an intuitive user interface.
Hello, dear readers! In this article we will talk about how open ISO file images in Windows 7, 10 and 8. Quite often, such a common question confuses many users. Although in fact, everything is very simple.

And this concludes our story. Bye everyone and see you again. Finally, watch an interesting video about real people with superpowers.
After downloading games or software from the Internet, you noticed iso files. In the material we will consider what an image is, how to open iso file on Windows 7, 8, 10 regular means, and third-party programs.
What is an iso image and how to run it
An iso image is a single file that is a virtual copy of a CD/DVD or BD. These files are identified in the OS by the extension ".iso". A lot of software is distributed in the form of an image and mostly it is voluminous software products. Such applications can be OS, games and other installer programs.
These images are used as a replacement for physical disk drives. In addition to folders and files, images contain additional boot information if a program that supports saving such information was used to create it. To run an iso file on a computer, standard OS tools or third-party programs are used. In turn, applications can be divided into special and archivers.
Special software designed to work with the image includes:
- WinCDEmu;
- Pismo File Mount Audit Package;
- DAEMON Tools;
- IsoBuster;
- ImgBurn;
- Ultraiso;
- Alcohol 120;
