Registry Flushing (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
If you have a hive-based registry, the system automatically flushes the contents of the registry to persistent storage on software shutdown. Although this strategy works if nothing interrupts normal operation, data may be lost if power is suddenly removed and no flushing has occurred to save the registry data. You can enable aggressive flushing to capture data more often, but device performance may degrade.
If you have a RAM-based registry, flushing occurs only when RegFlushKey is explicitly called.
