File System Settings (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

File system settings for Storage Manager follow a two-tier hierarchy.

  • Generic file system settings under the root file system key

    Settings placed at the root file system key, [HKLM\System\StorageManager\<FileSystemName>], apply to every mounted instance of <FileSystemName>. These settings provide values that apply to all profiles and to all auto-load systems.

  • Profile-specific file system settings under the profile file system sub-key

    Settings at the profile file system sub-key, [HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\<MyProfileName>\<FileSystemName>], are profile-specific. That is, settings at this level pertain only to mounted instances of <FileSystemName> on devices reporting the profile <MyProfileName>.

The following table shows the registry settings for any file system that can be set at the root file system level

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\<myFSD>.
Registry value: Type Description
Paging: REG_DWORD Controls paging.
  • 0 - Disables paging
  • 1 - Enables paging
Util: REG_SZ Specifies the DLL name of utility to do format and scan.
MountFlags: REG_DWORD This value is deprecated for Windows CE 5.0 and later. For replacement values, see Mount Settings.
Dll: REG_SZ Specifies the name of the file system DLL.

In addition to settings that can be applied to any file system, there are a number of settings at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\<myFSD> level that apply only a specific kind of file system, such as FATFS, BINFS, and so on.

The following topics provide information about settings that you can use only with a specific file system:
