What error messages are you talking about? I know of none stored in the registry. Usually these things are hard-coded directly into the app that's telling you you have an error. If you wanna do something arcane like change the wording to "You dummy, you screwed up..." or some such, you'd have to open the app with a hex editor, scan for the error message, and replace it, using null characters between the character hex values ... AND... be darn sure you don't write a longer error message than the original, or you'll overright some other code.

If you're a beginner, you'd probably get a kick out of doing this, and it'd help acquaint you with the guts of the OS, but I'd definately screw around with a backup copy of the app!

Mr. Stoltz is absolutely correct! Error messages are not in the registry, they are within files themselves. Use a hex editor to change the error messages. But first back up and make a copy of the file that you're going to fool with.
A great place to start your adventure is with the tip on this site about changing the start button. You'll notice error messages within the explorer.exe, such as yada yada yada "Contact Your Network Administrator" blah blah blah.
