Search Path Registry Settings (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

You can extend the default search path that the kernel uses to locate .dll and .exe files.

The following registry key example shows how to extend the search path:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Loader]
   "SystemPath":REG_MULTI_SZ

You can add several additional paths.

This registry value has a maximum length of MAX_PATH characters, including the terminating null character.

A path specified by the OEM is the last path to be searched when locating a .dll or .exe file.

This registry value is read-only when the OS starts.

For more information about these registry settings, see CreateProcess and LoadLibrary.
