Issue register HKCU HKLM vs

I've been meaning to ask this for many years, but never got to him.

When changes to the registry on a home computer, if there is a moment when I want to make a change to something found in HKEY_Current_User apply to all users, or at least most of the users have requested the change, is there a reason does not put it in HKEY_Local_Machine instead?
Is there ever a reason to put it in a .reg file with a note for all users to run if it patch their HKCU to HKLM instead?
I use HKLM for this kind of changes for fifteen years without much problem, and the only time wherever I saw a question was when the couple's children began to use the computer and complain that the default values are different in the school.

P.S. I ask the mods to remove this message, as appropriate. It applies to all versions of Windows since 95 (3.1 do not have a registry) so I chose ' other/unknown', but I don't know what "topic Windows and applications" it is up to the title.

Hello

As a long time that you have made the difference, as in your example that it affects all accounts, if
you use HKLM, then it's just a personal choice.

"There is no unique choice because it determines what you enter and that represents."

  • Insulation of the register HKCU mode

    I currently feel som with writing questions in HKCU on physical system of Applications. I want the Application to write to the physical registry on HKCU because its storage username and window/columns, default instances, locations etc for this Application it.

    Then when I put the register HKCU merged mode Applications survey of errors not being able to write the values. I check regedit and the KEY is created, but the values are not created. What I am doing wrong?

    I also tried the following, instead of setting the registry location real in the HKCU capture file, I allowed and tried to settle the whole registry merged through the package.ini fashionable, but he threw the same mistakes.

    Its packaged in Thinapp 5 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. Application works very well in the environment thinapp with the HKCU as default WriteCopy.

    Thanks for any input

    Finally, we got a stable version published this week that have solved this problem. Version 5.1 works as usual with merged record.

  • Issues register Windows 7 - get code 0xc004f061

    I had to install Windows 7 Home Premium on a spare hard drive because my main HDD failed.  Now when I try to register, it gives me the following error message:

    "Code 0xCOO4F061".

    Description: the Service of software license determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations. »

    What can I do?  I've already spent $120 on this to Fry...

    See the link of support for 0xC004F061:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-7-activation-error-0xC004F061

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930373

    0xc004f061 error message occurs when you try to use a license key to activate a newly installed Windows 7 as an upgrade from your previous operating system version; but you don't have the previous version of Windows on your computer. Microsoft retains an option for current users of Windows XP and Vista or Windows 7, upgrade in the latest version of Windows 7. Installation is easy and the product key is distinguished by a new upward together. However, to use the key, you must keep the earlier version of your operating system and the new facility will be placed on the old version. If you do not follow this, you will get this error massage.

    If you format the hard drive before you install the upgrade version, the product key will not work and will require the previous version of your Windows. In this case, you must reinstall the operating system previous Windows (operating system), and then reinstall the upgraded version of Windows 7, and then use the product key. So the best way to avoid the error message is to install the update on your existing operating system version.

    If you are sure you did everything correctly, but still not the error message, you can check for some errors, before you begin the new installation process. You can take care of the following points before do you:

    Right serial number

    See if you type the right serial number. The product key is a combination of letters and numbers, and there is a good chance that you have made a mistake in her typing. So double-check carefully. Also make sure you get the original number. There will be a sticker as a certificate of authenticity from the original product.

    Serial number for Windows 7

    Make sure that you use the serial number for the correct version of Windows 7. Currently the Windows 7 is available in four versions: Starter, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. See if you have used the wrong key for the wrong version.

    Version of license key

    You know if your license key is a full version of Windows 7 or the improved version because they are different for each, and one will not work on another.

    If none of these help, you need to reinstall the OS. Before you begin, make sure you have a valid serial number and a good copy of Windows 7 and the previous version of the Windows operating system. Format a disk on your hard drive and install the older version of Windows, then the upgraded version of Windows 7 and use the valid key. This should solve your problem.

    If you still have the problem, you must contact Microsoft Support Center. For a temporary solution, you can clear the serial number box in the window that asks for the number and continue the installation process. Who will install the operating system on your computer with validation of 30 days. You can use the computer during this time and meanwhile contact Microsoft for a solution.

  • How to disable all types or error messages (appcrash, initializing the dll, the material error messages) via regedit (HKCU only)?

    Hello

    I was wondering how to disable all types of error messages on windows (XP/7/8/8.1) through registry through HKCU only.

    I know that I can change on win 7/8

    The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error report

    DontShowUI to 1

    and on win xp (is it possible to do this through HKCU instead of HKLM?)

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting

    ShowUi to 0

    But that doesn't have errors like "The DLL initialization failed", in order to correct these you will need to fix (nothing to do in HKCU)?

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows

    ErrorMode in 2

    However, I need all doing just that only through HKCU. Are there other means directly or indirectly disable all sorts of error messages, preferably by HKCU HKLM not?

    Another question, if it is not possible to disable the other error messages, is there a way to make the machine close more quickly, so that the error messages are not shown while the machine stops.

    I tried on XP.

    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop

    AutoEndTasks 1

    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop

    HungAppTimeout 0

    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop

    WaitToKillAppTimeout 0

    It helped a bit but manages the error message is displayed, unless you set

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows

    ErrorMode in 2

    but I need to make the changes through HKCU only.

    Hello Mantas,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  • PSProvider XPS 9550

    I think I'm having a problem installing with DellBIOSProvider a XPS9550 I am not able to directly target the DellSmbios path or a mapped drive PS.

    I'm on Windows 10 1511 x 64 enterprise on a XPS 9550 with firmware A06.

    I don't get any errors and run in verbose mode doesn't give any warning or failure.

    Function
    HKCU

    Edit 2:

    It seems that the question is when the module is imported when running in the system context.  When the Import-Module command is executed under the user context of the PSDrive is created.  I suspect that's not intentional - can - we confirm/deny?

    I was able to solve this problem.  The issue has been a tool that I used to send commands to a machine remote powershell was instantiation of each order, so the PSDrive was created and destroyed during the import.  I was able to prove by running the import so that Get-PSDrive in a single command and he returned DellSmbios correctly.

  • "An error occurred during the import of the source image"

    I used the Tech Preview of Workstation 7.0 and tried to import a virtual appliance (OVF), but it failed in the middle.  Whenever I would try to run again, I would get the error "an error occurred when importing the source image" without even trying.  As soon as I clicked "Import or Export" I get this message.

    Thinking something was just crazy with the Tech Preview, I went back to the Workstation 6.5.3 and tried.  I get exactly the same behavior - as soon as I click on import / export I get this error message.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall Workstation 6.5.3 several times and each time I still get the error.  I guess she feels that something is waiting somewhere, but I can't.  I deleted the keys to register HKCU and HKLM associated Workstation and reinstalled without success.  I also note that it keeps the virtual machines, that I created in my favorites after uninstall/reinstall, so I guess there is another location of this info I'm not delete.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?  At this time I'm looking for a new installation of the Workstation 6.5.3.

    While performing workstation 653 on Win7PE, I noticed the same behavior. Just by clicking on import/export will give the error. The papers say; "Win32 exception: unknown exception. He followed with procmon shows nothing interesting.

    Seems to be a bug.

  • How can I clear the history of the file menu?

    By clicking on file/Clear History is not clear in fact history (nor is it possible to clear the history of the Organizer), does anyone know where Acrobat 9 stores the info (on Windows 7 x 64)? I looked in all the obvious places: c:\users\me\app data\local, locallow and roaming, also searched the register in HKCU, HKLM and HKU hives, but don't see anything obvious. In the... AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0 folder, there is a file called UserCache.bin which has the current date, but deleting it did not help. It has been recreated with the same file size, and history has remained. Yes, I've been reboot several times.

    The best I can do is change the preferences to display 1 one recent document. (And before someone thinks I'm paranoid: I record video tutorials and it looks weird to have a bunch of document names displayed when I show the file menu.)

  • Checking version CinePlayer start or Log In

    When I started my PC or connect to (I forgot!), a small box emerged saying that there is a new version available for CinePlayer. Do you want only it? and there was OK and No. buttons.

    If I look in my cCleaner on tools > start, I see something called Sonic CinePlayer Quick Launch.lnk. -What is checked for this new version, or is it something else I can keep. If it's just looking for a new version, I could simply disable in cCleaner. But if she does more than that, then maybe I should just let it run. I do not know...

    The last time this happened, I clicked OK and it went to the site a Sonic or Roxio . I forget which. I wish of course I remember, but I did not! And it happened not once again when I just tried a Log off / on and also a restart.

    I remember that the original area was a name of top companies and then the site went to said that the company had been conquered by that other company and...

    But in all programs, I see also ROXIO Easy CD Creator 5 with aps called Creator, Copier and CD Format Utility.

    I watched the 2 companies and I found these sites:

    I just did a Log off / on , and also a restart and I do not have this box again. So I don't know how to prevent it.

    Maybe there is a setting in a program somewhere that I can choose to prevent this?

    PLEASE HELP ME!   I don't know anything about this stuff...

    See Halima information:

    To open the Registry Editor:

    • Click on Start menu and click Run.
    • Type regedit and press ENTER.

    Expand Microsoft
    Expand Windows
    Extend your current Version

  • Telepresence - administrator password

    We have a client that requires us to change administrator passwords each quarter, and we need to change the password for the first time.

    I wanted to know if we run into any problems by changing the passwords on the CUCM, VCS VCS Expressway, MSE8000, TPS and TCS.

    Are there any traps or order that we follow?

    1. I wanted to make sure that the VCS, CUCM, MSE, and GST will have any issues registering with TMS.

    2. the VCS Cluster will have a problem?

    3. This can affect the OpenDS TMS?

    4. all the problems with TMSXE?  The TMSXE server is managed by another team, and we will not change this administrator login and password.

    Here is the list of the versions:

    CUCM - 8.6.2.2000 - 2

    TMS - 13.2

    TMSXE - 3.0.2.0

    VCS - v7.0.2

    VCS Expressway - V7.0.2

    MSE8000 - 2.2 (1.17)

    Telepresence Server - 2.2 (1.54)

    TC - v5.3

    Thank you

    Bryan Darnell

    Hi Bryan,.

    1. once change the admin password on these devices, you can update the TMS with the new password of the device tab connection from each device so that it can access using the new admin password

    2. There should be no effect on the VCS cluster, because each peer can have a different password for the user "admin".

    3. no effect on replication opends, as this is handled by different accounts

    see you soon

  • Configure the security settings to allow silent printing

    I'm a developer of software for clinical drug manufacturer. Our software silently to print a pdf file using an ActiveX object to open Adobe Reader, keep the minimized window, and then run a line menu item to print the document to the printer. Our workflow is around radiation and we want to minimize the interaction of the user with the software which in turn reduced his exposure to radiation. With Windows XP, the first use of the silent printing emerged from a script dialog box and asks to accept or decline writing scripts. All silent prints instance arrived as expected with no further user action required. However, transition to Windows 7 introduced the different behavior. As expected with the first use of the dialog script pop upward, but whatever the choice, it continues to appear on every use of the silent print command.

    I poured the enhanced security features and JavaScript and can not find a way to set it up so that the pop-up only happens once and therefore recalls the selection of users to allow the script.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Doug

    Found the solution. Was to add the register HKCU item manually. Some of my deployments that automatically created the first time that the user selected OK to print. The machine was not. Once I added it manually, it worked as I expected with no dialog box.

  • Is it possible to tell what is the heap size JVM is on a 64-bit 2008 Server?

    Is it possible to tell what is the heap size JVM is on a 64-bit 2008 Server? We have a number, but it is unclear if the connection broker has been installed before or after that RAM was brought to more than 10 GB.

    In the register of HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc. \VMware VDM\plugins\wsnm\TomcatService\Params they seem to all State

    -Xms128m-Xmx4096m - XX: MaxPermSize = 128 m-Xrs - XX: + UseConcMarkSweepGC - Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval = 3600000 - Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval = 3600000...

    Although I've seen a show - Xmx1024m

    This could be how say you?

    Also did anyone know if a 4.6 view upgrade will increase the size of segment correctly if the RAM is increased before the upgrade to 4.5 takes place, therefore not having to do a complete reinstall?

    Thank you

    On page 69 of the installation guide, it shows how to change the JVM for X 86 servers.  Maybe this will give you a place to start looking for your current size.  On X 64 if it has been installed with the 10 GB of memory, then would be a chunk of memory to 2 GB size and anything less than 10 GB would result in a segment size of memory 512 MB.

  • Changes to printer by default after recompose

    Hey there...

    We view 4.5 running and using persistent disks for the storage of profile.  When I recompose the pool / a machine, the default printer changes.  Has anyone else seen elsewhere?  If so, how would you keep the same default printers?

    Thanks in advance.

    We run see 4.5 with floating linked clone pools and we have the same problems even with roaming profiles. The Netprinters of UNC are correctly roamed but not the fault of the printer.

    For this, we did a work around to save the register HKCU NT\Current Version\Windows separately.

    While connection we restore this setting and with the correct default printer.
