registry editing

Can anybody tell me how to edit value names in windows registry?
By key I mean which name to be used?

e.g.
Key: (HKCU|HKLM)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Value Name: NoViewContextMenu
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Set To: 1 to enable, 0 to disable (0 Default)

Here NoViewContextMenu is used. Why? What is its significance ? What other names are valid?

So what do you particularly want to edit?

Check this for info of this reg key

Refer: NoViewContextMenu for NoViewContextMenu
BTW, it's potentially dangerous modifying the windows registry.
You could end up corrupting your system.

Registry is a vast database in windows..& tickling with it is a risky business until u know what u r doing.

as a naive user its always recommended to take some guidance from document tutorials..
