Does anyone know the file name(s) that are associated with Windows Registry

I assume they are located somewhere in the WINDOWS\System32 folder

Thank you for your replys

One NTUSER.DAT for each user on the machine, some templates and repair.
%HOMEDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\NTUSER.DAT
%allusersprofile%\ntuser.dat
%HOMEDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT
%HOMEDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Documents and
Settings\LocalService\NTUSER.DAT
%HOMEDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Documents and
Settings\NetworkService\NTUSER.DAT
%homepath%\NTUSER.DAT
%windir%\repair
%windir%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\systemprofile

All hives are stored in %systemroot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG. Except
HKEY_CURRENT_USER. That's stored in %homepath%.
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here.

The major hives and their files are as follows:

Hive File BackupFile
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE.LOG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY SECURITY SECURITY.LOG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM.LOG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM SAM SAM.LOG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER NTUSER.DAT ntuser.dat.LOG
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT DEFAULT DEFAULT.LOG
