  Describes the physical hardware in the computer, the way device drivers use that hardware, and mappings and related data that link kernel-mode drivers with user-mode code. All data in this key is recreated each time the system is started. The Description subkey describes the actual computer hardware. The DeviceMap subkey contains miscellaneous data in formats specific to particular classes of drivers. The ResourceMap subkey describes which device drivers claim which hardware resources. The Windows NT Diagnostics program (Winmsdp.exe) can report on its contents in an easy-to-read form.

  By convention, if similar data exists under <xref:Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser> and under <xref:Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine>, the data in <xref:Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser> takes precedence. However, values in this key can also extend (rather than replace) data in Registry.LocalMachine. Also, some items (such as device driver loading entries) are meaningless if they occur outside of Registry.LocalMachine.

  The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the subkeys of this key, and prints their names to the screen. Use the <xref:Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenSubKey*> method to create an instance of the particular subkey of interest. You can then use other operations in <xref:Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey> to manipulate that key.

  To obtain performance data from a remote system, you must use the <xref:Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey*> method, with the computer name of the remote system and the Registry.PerformanceData key. This call retrieves a key representing the performance data for the remote system. To retrieve the data, call <xref:Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.GetValue*> using this key, rather than the Registry.PerformanceData key.

-> On Windows Server 2003, a user must at least belong to the Performance Monitor Users group in order to access subkeys of this base key.
