    <p>I don't think it is one answer I think it's a combination:</p> <ul> <li>The registry at the time of creating it looked like a good idea to store all settings for all programs in one place as oppose to the .ini files generally used before. At the time this increased performance as small .ini file reads from slow hard drives were costly, a single registry file somewhat increased performance. This is now different as hard drives are far faster and more and more settings have been dumped in the registry making it a burden on the system. You will see this if you install and uninstall lots of programs in windows it begins to slow down and eventually you probably end up reformatting. </li> <li>An incorrect write to the registry even in the current user settings can ruin your system.</li> <li>The registry doesn't help xcopy deployment of programs without specific code to handle lack of registry keys... This includes removing programs by simply deleting the folder in many cases</li> <li>Greater permissions can be needed to install an application if it needs access to the registry</li> <li>A .config file easily allows <strong>default</strong> application and user setting which can be modified on first run of the program by the end user</li> <li>Allows .NET to potentially run on other systems without OS specific code. This can somewhat be seen with Silverlight and isolated storage.</li> <li>Greater security through the use of Isolated Storage for the application and users</li> <li>Gives Microsoft the possibility way in the future to have a managed code only OS without many old dependencies. Think of the framework as a layer between any OS and the managed code.</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
