Windows Registry

My question's regarding the Dword value in the registry. I would like to know what the zero, and one mean in registry terms.

I've been told that the zero stands for no or deny, while the one meant yes or allow. Is that correct?

I've Googled for information on this subject but nothing was available on this topic.

That is correct.

Simply put what it means is 0 is switched off and 1 is switched on.

That entirely depends on the application / component that uses a particular registry entry.

A DWORD is an unsigned 32-bit entity that can hold any number between 0 and 4294967295.

If you want to know the meaning of a particular registry entry, name it.
