I have Windows 2003 Server with Terminal Services enabled (app.mode). And I

writting small program for myself and my friends.

I just want to know If this value is modyfing, does Windows recover it after

reboot.

If not I need unique not changed key in regestry.

And what about 2000, XP, Vista

 

Sorry for my bad english . . .

With best regards, Alek Luchnikov

That for me is not a good reason to change registry. Unless you know exactly

what you are doing, do not change registry keys !!!

 

But if it is only for a test, why don't you go ahead and do it !... oh, make

sure you have a backup, because if you get unexplainable behavior you might

want to restore or re-install your system.

> And what about 2000, XP, Vista

 

what about it ?

 

 

Bottom line, you just do not go and change registry keys.

I still do not understand what you are trying to accomplish here, or what

your application is supposed to do with this registry key.

 

Do not change it, or prepare to reinstall your system if things do not go as

you would like it.

 

rgds,

Edwin.
