Registry.LocalMachine Field

Definition

Contains the configuration data for the local machine. This field reads the Windows registry base key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

public: static initonly Microsoft::Win32::RegistryKey ^ LocalMachine;
public static readonly Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey LocalMachine;
 staticval mutable LocalMachine : Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Public Shared ReadOnly LocalMachine As RegistryKey 

Field Value

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the subkeys of this key, and prints their names to the screen. Use the OpenSubKey method to create an instance of the particular subkey of interest. You can then use other operations in RegistryKey to manipulate that key.

using namespace System;
using namespace Microsoft::Win32;
void PrintKeys( RegistryKey ^ rkey )
{
   
   // Retrieve all the subkeys for the specified key.
   array<String^>^names = rkey->GetSubKeyNames();
   int icount = 0;
   Console::WriteLine( "Subkeys of {0}", rkey->Name );
   Console::WriteLine( "-----------------------------------------------" );
   
   // Print the contents of the array to the console.
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ enum0 = names->GetEnumerator();
   while ( enum0->MoveNext() )
   {
      String^ s = safe_cast<String^>(enum0->Current);
      Console::WriteLine( s );
      
      // The following code puts a limit on the number
      // of keys displayed.  Comment it out to print the
      // complete list.
      icount++;
      if ( icount >= 10 )
            break;
   }
}

int main()
{
   
   // Create a RegistryKey, which will access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
   // key in the registry of this machine.
   RegistryKey ^ rk = Registry::LocalMachine;
   
   // Print out the keys.
   PrintKeys( rk );
}
using System;
using Microsoft.Win32;

class Reg {
    public static void Main() {

        // Create a RegistryKey, which will access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
        // key in the registry of this machine.
         RegistryKey rk = Registry.LocalMachine;

        // Print out the keys.
        PrintKeys(rk);
    }

    static void PrintKeys(RegistryKey rkey) {

        // Retrieve all the subkeys for the specified key.
        string [] names = rkey.GetSubKeyNames();

        int icount = 0;

        Console.WriteLine("Subkeys of " + rkey.Name);
        Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------------------");

        // Print the contents of the array to the console.
        foreach (string s in names) {
            Console.WriteLine(s);

            // The following code puts a limit on the number
            // of keys displayed.  Comment it out to print the
            // complete list.
            icount++;
            if (icount >= 10)
                break;
        }
    }

Remarks

LocalMachine contains five keys:

Hardware Describes the physical hardware in the computer, the way device drivers use that hardware, and mappings and related data that link kernel-mode drivers with user-mode code. All data in this key is recreated each time the system is started. The Description subkey describes the actual computer hardware. The DeviceMap subkey contains miscellaneous data in formats specific to particular classes of drivers. The ResourceMap subkey describes which device drivers claim which hardware resources. The Windows NT Diagnostics program (Winmsdp.exe) can report on its contents in an easy-to-read form.

SAM The directory services database of security information for user and group accounts, and for the domains in Windows 2000 Server (SAM is the Security Account Manager, known as the directory services database).

Security Contains the local security policy, such as specific user rights. This key is used only by the Windows 2000 security subsystem.

Software The per-computer software database. This key contains data about software installed on the local computer, along with various items of miscellaneous configuration data.

System Controls system startup, device driver loading, Windows 2000 services, and operating system behavior.

By convention, if similar data exists under CurrentUser and under LocalMachine, the data in CurrentUser takes precedence. However, values in this key can also extend (rather than replace) data in Registry.LocalMachine. Also, some items (such as device driver loading entries) are meaningless if they occur outside of Registry.LocalMachine.
