regedit
Someone told me that if I need to know how a gui we are building would connect to an already installed program or a program installed after the gui we are building is installed that we should use regedit. I am not sure what this means. The context is that we want to build an application that can start (or possibly control) other applications installed. It will be a sort of dashboard.
Can anyone clue me in on what regedit has to do with this?

If you are building a program, regedit would only be useful after the program is built and installed. And you are trying to fix any bugs that the program created in the registry. Regedit is a simple registry editing program. It is very powerful when used correctly, But used in correctly it can make your machine non-bootable or very problematic.
