storeadm [/list][/machine][/remove][/roaming][/quiet]
Parameters
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
/h[elp] |
Displays command syntax and options for the tool. |
/list |
Displays all existing stores for the current user. This includes the stores for all applications or assemblies executed by this user. |
/machine |
Selects the machine store. Use this option with the /list or /remove option to specify that the action should apply to the machine store. New in the .NET Framework 2.0 |
/quiet |
Specifies quiet mode; suppresses informational output so that only error messages appear. |
/remove |
Permanently removes all existing stores for the current user. |
/roaming |
Selects the roaming store. Use this option with the /list or /remove options to specify that the action should apply to the roaming store. |
/? |
Displays command syntax and options for the tool. |
Remarks
Running Storeadm.exe from the command line without specifying any options displays the syntax and options for the tool.
The /list and /remove options are typically used one at a time; however, if two or more options are specified they will be performed in the order in which they appear on the command line.
Applications have a choice of saving to one of two stores for a user or to the machine store:
The local store exists in a location that is guaranteed not to roam (on Windows 2000 and later) even if user data roaming is enabled for the user.
The roaming store exists in a location that is able to roam, but can only do so if roaming is enabled for the user via Windows NT administration.
The machine store is common to all users on a machine and is stored under a common directory on that machine.
Note
The machine store is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.
Whether roaming is actually enabled for the user does not affect the administration of Storeadm.exe. Running the tool without any options applies all actions to the local store. Running the tool with the /roaming option applies all actions to the store that is able to roam. Running the tool with the /machine option applies all actions to the machine store.
