This at first read sounds like a candidate for stupid question of the
year. But on reconsidering, maybe windows did something right by
consolidating all those *.conf files scattered all over hell into one
file. In any event, each application that needs to know what
resources it might have, has a name-of-program.conf file thats
independant of other programs. So there is not a single "registry"
file on a *nix system. but several dozen scattered here and there,
and not all in the /etc directory although thats where they are
supposed to be AIUI..
