Adjust registry settings

With AttachingIT you can adjust / personalize different registry settings. This list is currently until version 3.8.819. If you have an older version, then certain keys might be missing in the registry.

The keys that are described on this page are divided into 2 parts:

• Keys that you can adjust to configure the plug-in
• Keys that you shouldn't be adjusted because they are needed for the correct functioning of the plug-in.

The registry settings for the AttachingIT software can be found here:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\AttachingIT
