Any issues using HKLM on Smartphones
|
|
|
| Is there an issue using HKLM registry key instead of HKCU for storing
application specific values on Smartphones ?
I have a PocketPC application which iam porting to Smartphones.
The current code assumes HKLM as the registry root. Is there a strong reason
to change this for the Smartphones ? I read somewhere in the help that HKCU
was recommended. I want to know if there are serious repercussions of not
following that recommendation. Ideally i would like to keep this code common
since changing this would mean chainging other tools that run on the PC which
expect the HKLM heirarchy.
Thanks,
Shiva

no you don't need to change HKLM is fine, and most apps use it

| Certain areas of HKLM are protected on Smartphone. It means that only
trusted apps can modify data there.
