No, you find something that is _presented_ as _looking like_ directories
and such. The registry actually resides in RAM while Windows is running,
and is stored in just a few files when you shut down (in Windows 9x it
was in two files of type .dat, I'm not sure for XP).

the entire many pages and edit it and then re copy it back to a new
installation copy of xp home 32 bit ???

As Vanguard said very harshly, and Mayayana explained in great detail,
this is Not A Good Idea To Try, and probably wouldn't work (and could
well stop the new machine working).
