File Server Registry Settings

The configuration settings for the File Server feature are stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Smbserver registry key.

Windows CE enables you to create virtual file server directories. Virtual directories appear to users who access your file server share as subdirectories of the file server share, although these directories may be located in a different folder.

You can create a virtual root directory called "SampleVirtualRoot" by specifying the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\SampleVirtualRoot.

The following table shows the named values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Smbserver key.

Value : type Description
Type : REG_DWORD Setting this value to 1 designates this as a print server share, setting this value to 0 (zero) designates this as a file server share.
Path : REG_SZ Specifies the path to be shared out.
Note   It is not recommended that you share out the \Windows or root directory.
UserList : REG_SZ Specifies a comma-separated list of allowed users.
