Each software has many lines in its own code, each of which represents the skeleton, the very structure of the software costs. or the program. Often with these programs you can see hundreds, if not thousands of lines in your code, and they make the program work correctly. That is why there are a number of programs to constantly update the software on your computer.
Being the very structure of a program, every line must be executed perfectly and every developer ends up jealously protecting each of these lines so that they cannot be easily changed for various reasons.
Additionally, these lines are sometimes protected for reasons of piracy, security and even copyright, as is the case with Windows. Each line of the registry, or Windows code, is totally hidden and protected from all users.
Often, we can find that many Windows folders are protected so that only the system can access them and not the user. This is because there are often folders that are of utmost importance for the proper functioning of all versions of Windows, as some are registry keys, these folders have access to different databases about the files and functions that are in the system.
