The Windows Registry is where applications typically save their configuration information. Sometimes for registration or convenience purposes personally identifiable information will be saved in the registry. For example, an application may save your password in the registry so you are not required to enter it each time the application opens. Additionally, an application may use the registry to save the personal registration information you provided during its installation process.
Note: Identity Finder never stores any of your personally identifiable information in the Windows Registry.
Identity Finder can find application-stored information and shred it. You can enable searching of the Windows Registry by clicking the "Windows Registry" button on the "Where to Search" ribbon. When enabled, the button will be highlighted orange.
