The registry stores information necessary to configure the system for applications and hardware devices. The registry also contains information that the operating system continually references during operation. The following registry settings are the default values.

Authentication support settings

For authentication support, add a subkey to the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security key, specifying the authentication scheme, for example, kerberos. A string value, DLLFile, should contain the name of the DLL that supports the authentication scheme. A DWORD value, Flags, should be set with the appropriate value.

The following table shows the possible settings for the Flags value.

Flag value Description

PLUGIN_AUTH_FLAGS_UNIQUE_CONTEXT_PER_TCPIP (value=0x01)

Each TCP/IP socket contains a different context. Otherwise, a new context is passed for each realm or block URL template.

PLUGIN_AUTH_FLAGS_CAN_HANDLE_UI (value=0x02)

This DLL can handle its own user input.

PLUGIN_AUTH_FLAGS_CAN_HANDLE_NO_PASSWD (value=0x04)

This DLL might be capable of doing an authentication without prompting the user for a password.

PLUGIN_AUTH_FLAGS_NO_REALM (value=0x08)

This DLL does not use a standard HTTP realm string. Any data that appears to be a realm is scheme-specific.

PLUGIN_AUTH_FLAGS_KEEP_ALIVE_NOT_REQUIRED (value=0x10)

This DLL does not require a persistent connection for its challenge-response sequence.

The following settings in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security\Kerberos registry subkey enable Kerberos authentication.

DisableUserPswdForHTTP ; REG_DWORD

Default value is 1 that disables username and password in the URL.

Aa918417.security(en-us,MSDN.10).gifSecurity Note:
Setting this value to 0 is not recommended because it enables username and password in the URL. This may expose the device to potential security threats.

Cache configuration settings

Cookies : REG_SZ

The default path is \\Windows\\Profiles\\guest\\Cookies.

Privacy Settings

Privacy settings are stored according to the security zone and are located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\<Zone ID> key. The <Zone ID> key is the security zone identifier — 1, 2, 3, or 4 — that represents Local intranet, Trusted sites, Internet, and Restricted sites, respectively. Privacy templates for the Internet zone correspond to the Medium privacy level and privacy templates for the Restricted sites zone correspond to Block All Cookies level. Templates for Local intranet and Trusted sites zones are not specified. The following setting in the <Zone ID> key specifies the use of P3P policy.

Value : type Description

1A10 : REG_DWORD

Determines how P3P policy evaluation is performed. It can be set to one of the following values:

  • 0 (URLPOLICY_ALLOW) - Accepts all cookies. Default value for Local intranet and Trusted sites.
  • 1 (URLPOLICY_QUERY) - Cookie action is determined by evaluating the P3P policy against the restrictions imposed by the corresponding privacy template. Default value for the Internet zone.
  • 3 (URLPOLICY_DISALLOW) - Rejects all cookies. Default value for the Restricted zone.

If this value is not set, then cookies are rejected.

A binary representation of a privacy template for first-party cookies is stored as a value of {AEBA21FA-782A-4A90-978D-B72164C80120}. For third-party cookies, it is stored as a value of {A8A88C49-5EB2-4990-A1A2-0876022C854F}. If a security zone does not have privacy template data in the registry or the registry data cannot be converted to a properly formatted privacy template then the default behavior for this zone is to accept and send all cookies.

For more information about P3P, see Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P).

Advanced and Custom Privacy Templates

Advanced privacy templates are stored under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings key. The following value in the Internet Settings key determines if an advanced or a custom template is used.

Value : type Description

PrivacyAdvanced: REG_DWORD

Determines whether advanced or custom settings are applied in the Advanced Privacy Settings dialog box. It can be set to one of the following values:

  • 0 - Advanced or custom settings are not applied.
  • 1 - Advanced or custom settings are applied.

To handle site-by-site cookies, per-domain cookie decisions are stored under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\<domain> key. The domains are added to the registry by WinInet when the user adds sites by using the Per Site Privacy Actions dialog box.

The default value of the <domain> key stores the decision value. The following table shows the possible values.

Value Description

REG_DWORD: 1 (COOKIE_STATE_ACCEPT)

Accept all cookies from this site.

REG_DWORD: 5 (COOKIE_STATE_REJECT)

Reject all cookies from this site.

  • hInternet, pass NULL to set the proxy settings for all sessions. This writes to the registry.
  • dwOption, set to INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY.
  • lpBuffer, point to the structure of type INTERNET_PROXY_INFO. This is defined in wininet.h.
  • dwBufferLength, set to the size of INTERNET_PROXY_INFO.

InternetQueryOption retrieves proxy setting in lpBuffer.
