Changing Configuration Settings in the Windows Registry

  • Article

You can make changes directly in the Windows registry to set the Visual FoxPro configuration.

To change the Windows registry, use the Registry Editor, a utility provided with Windows.

Note   Exercise caution when changing the Windows registry. Changing the wrong registry entry or making an incorrect entry for a setting can introduce an error that prevents Visual FoxPro, or even Windows itself, from starting or working properly.

To change configuration settings in the registry

  1. In Windows, start the Registry Editor.

  2. Navigate to this registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER:

    Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\8.0\Options

  3. Double-click the name of the setting to change, and then enter a new value.

  4. Close the Registry Editor.

    Your change will be in effect the next time you start Visual FoxPro.

You can also make changes to the registry by calling Windows APIs from a Visual FoxPro program.
