Many of the users that run blogs and websites do not have in depth of what their site is built with. Information such as which software is running the website, what is the server etc are long forgotten once a site is up and running.

How many of you have your content plagiarized and have seen those sites running Google AdSense. It hurts isn’t it. It hurt me a lot when the site that plagiarized my content was sitting two positions above me in Google Search Results, it hurts more then when your hard work is stolen.

It is high time a individual turns into a force and I want all your support to end this not just for me but for you all too.

Formula 1 until 3 years ago was getting a bit boring with Michael Schumaker the undisputed champion with no challenge from the other drivers. The performance took a turn three years with Fernando Alonso who was racing with the Renault team then piping Schumaker to take the World Championship. Schumaker did retire after that year leaving a young brigade of drivers to compete and give their best results.

Just like a web registrar which stores information about various domains, their owners, addresses, phone numbers etc your Windows Registry stores information about each and every software including information about manufacturer, settings, add-ons, tweaks and much more.
