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..
