   Registry Overrides
  Does anybody have a good explanation of what they are?TIA   
  Things that go BUMP in the night!   ;  Hmm... Not so easy when Google returns nothing, is it? I can't seem to find anything. One last bump/request for help..;  What do you mean by registry override??CheersChris   ;  I am not sure, the term has come up in conversation. That's why I was asking... I think it actually is just what it sounds like.   ;  I used to do a lot of work with the Registry and I have never heard of a "Registry Override".  Could be someone using the wrong term for something.theTroll   ;Quote:Original post by TheTrollI used to do a lot of work with the Registry and I have never heard of a "Registry Override".  Could be someone using the wrong term for something.theTrollSounds about right.  Someone trying to some computer smart.  Been dealing with the windows registery (fixing it as a tech, coding, etc) and have never heard this term either.  Enjoy bashing on this person :)   ;  Cool! :-)Thanks guys - I knew if it existed you'd know.Tho it does appear faintly on google searches.;Quote:Using a Registry OverrideThe Registry entries in laygontx.reg include a service entry for Laygontx1 in addition to that for Laygontx. (This entry is at the very end of the file.) It contains inactive Registry override values for the PCMCIA card (Pcmcia is set to 0). For instance, for the Advanced Relay PCMCIA cards, the entry look like this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LaygontF1\Parameters]"Pcmcia" = dword:00000000"IoLength"    = dword:00000008"InterruptNumber"  = dword:00000007"IoBaseAddress"    = dword:00000300To use an override, edit this file with a text editor such as notepad. Change the InterruptNumber and IoBaseAddress values to those of the resources you have assigned. (The values are given in hexadecimal notation.) Change the Pcmcia value to 1 to enable the override. Save the file. To write the entries into the Registry, simply double-click the file name in Windows explorer. Do not change the hardware values in any other section of the file.I found this by googling "registry override". I think it just means changing the registry from its default settings for a piece of hardware or software- or enabling keys that were disabled previously. I dunno, I also had never heard the term before, but this is my best guess from reading this and a couple other short blurbs from google.[edit]It does seem to be more of an IT term rather than a programming one   ;  Agreed. Proprietary and/or made up. :)
