Securing  the  digital  resources  in  the  cyberspace  is  considered  as  a  very important  issue  in  modern  computer  systems  because  of  the  increased  malicious activities.  One of its important applications is  computer crimes  investigation which is based  on  collecting  and  analyzing  evidences  from  certain  areas  in  the  computer  system.  Windows registry  can be  considered as one of the areas that contains valuable
information  about the system. It stores all hardware and software  configurations, user activities, and transactions. Therefore, Windows  registry forensics is considered as a
hot  research  field.  We  proposed  a  new  framework  for  computer  forensics  based  on Windows  registry  analysis.  It  integrates  both  physical  and  digital  evidence  analysis.
The  purpose  of  our  work  is  to  collect  the  evidence  through  some  techniques  and methods from  the  Registry.  We applied this framework on a case study.  Besides,  we reviewed and classified the different types of digital crimes.
