ABSTRACT

The Windows registry is a hierarchical database where the configuration data of a system or application programs is stored. In this paper, we presented and implemented a registry virtualization algorithm, and measured its performance. The registry virtualization algorithm presented in the paper is called Copy-One-level On Write-Open(COOWO) that is a modified version of general Copy On Write(COW) method to make it suitable for registry virtualization. In this paper, we implemented the proposed algorithm as a dynamically loadable library in Windows and applied it to many Windows application programs. This paper is meaningful since we described a registry virtualization algorithm in detail in situation where we can not find papers that describe the registry virtualization in detail, and we could find the performance of the algorithm can be used in the real applications.
