Registry (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Windows Embedded CE registry stores data about applications, drivers, user preferences, and other configuration settings.
Windows Embedded CE provides the option to implement the registry as a RAM-based heap file or a hive-based registry stored in files. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later implements the hive-based registry by default. RAM-based registry data can be lost if the RAM loses power, unless the OEM has implemented a registry backup procedure.
The registry is also used for system initialization. The registry can be loaded from and stored to another persistent storage device. As of Windows CE .NET 4.0, the registry can exist as a file on any file system.
