Win 3.1 did have a registry, accessable to apps (otherwise how would regedit work?). It was the equivilent of the Win32 registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. (If you use regedit /v you will see a little bit more clearly the hierarchal structure.) All it stored was information about file types and OLE servers; preferences were still in INI files.
