F.1 Key

Keys create the paths to the various registry entries. For example, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is a registry key at the root level, and HARDWARE is a key directly under it. The keys are displayed with folder icons in tree fashion. You can click the plus or minus signs to expand or compress the tree structure.

In the box where the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key is displayed, you need to use the Key registry entry to create the path to where the registry changes are placed.

To configure a Key entry:

  1. In the box displaying your key tree, select the location where you want the key inserted.

  2. Select Key from the drop-down box, then click Add.

    New Key #1 is displayed.

  3. Change the default key name to the key name that you need.

    When entering information into this field, you must press Enter for the change to be saved.

  4. Select a condition for making the registry change:

       Create    Delete

  5. To apply the setting to all subordinate keys, click Apply To All.
