Understanding Base Registry Setting

Global BlueZone settings are saved in the Registry for both Registry Mode and Profile Mode, and User Settings are saved in the Registry in Registry Mode.  The Registry location where they are saved depends on the value for the Base Registry Setting in the SETUP.INI file.

What are Global Settings?

Global settings apply to the BlueZone product as a whole.  For example, the location of the BlueZone Windows Installation Directory is an example of a Global setting since it applies to the whole BlueZone application which is by default, stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.

Other examples are specific feature settings, lock settings and mode settings that apply to all BlueZone sessions.

What are User Level Settings?

User Level settings apply to individual BlueZone sessions.  For example, the location of the End User's "My Documents" folder which is by default, stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_USER key.

Other examples are individual BlueZone session keys like Mainframe Display S1, which contains all information about this particular BlueZone session.

By default, the Base Registry setting is set to 0.

Setting the Base Registry Value

Use Notepad to edit the SETUP.INI file.  From the table below, choose the desired value and enter it in the BaseRegisrty= value.

0 = HKEY_CURRENT_USER (Session Settings - Default)

1 = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (All Settings)

2 = HKEY_CURRENT_USER (All Settings)

Locate BaseRegistry= in the SETUP.INI file and enter the desired value.
