FAT File System Registry Settings (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The file allocation table (FAT) file system retrieves driver-specific settings from the registry.
You can place settings for FAT, Extended FAT (exFAT), and Transaction-Safe Extended FAT (TexFAT) at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
- or -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profile\<MyProfileName>\FATFS.
In addition to the keys that you can set at these levels, you can set formatting options for FAT, TexFAT, and exFAT at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\FormatOptions.
For information about specific types of settings that you can use to control and customize FAT file systems, see the following topics:
- Default Registry Settings for FAT File Systems
