Library Registry Keys


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Anybody know which registry keys to save to transfer custom library entries? I've tried the ones below and they don't seem to work when I apply them to a new machine:

LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\WorkingSetRules\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Sites\LocalHost\Paths\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\StartPages\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons

Also, I can't seem to move the desktop and a handful of other user folder from their default locations by changing the path in their registry entries.

You can find your libraries path in the next registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\{1B3EA5DC-B587-4786-B4EF-BD1DC332AEAE}

So if you want to save them you have to copy this folder.

In order to change user folders you have to go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Good luck
