You can use the registry to configure various settings for your File server. For example, you can use the registry to perform the following configuration tasks:

  • Share out available hard drives.
  • Specify a network adapter on which the File server must listen.
  • Create a print spooler file on a local hard drive to improve network printing performance.

The following example shows how to configure the registry to share two hard drives. These hard drives may be available through USB.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\HD1]
    "Type"=dword:0
    "Path"="\\Hard Disk"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\HD2]
  "Type"=dword:0
  "Path"="\\Hard Disk2"

The following example configures the SMB server to listen on the second Realtek PCI network adapter as well as on VMINI.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer]
  "AdapterList"="PCI\\RTL81392;VMINI1"
