The very first step should be to make sure you have backed up all vital stuff before messing with the registry. Save it to the cloud is easiest, or to usb stick. This is just to be on the safe side, plus that stuff should be backed up anyways.

The first step is opening up the registry editor. Go down to your system search option, and type in "regedit", but without the quotes. 

There should be folders listed under Computer starting with HKEY_ 

Then just need to figure out where exactly which line needs added or edited, then save & reboot. This is the walkthrough part if you are unsure, but at least you have idea what it is.
