That's the Windows way of thinking.  For one, Linux doesn't create
temp files like Windows does and secondly Linux doesn't have a
Registry.  Any temporary data in Linux is written to the swap
partition and not the main partition where the files for Linux and its
applications are stored.

In place of the Registry are config files which are in plain text so
if you need to edit them you can do so with a basic text editor like
Kate, VIM (a powerful terminal text editor), or any other editor that
supports plain text.
