| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_MULTI_SZ | ObjectName ObjectName ... | There is no default value for this entry. |
Specifies the services, protocols, and devices to which this device is associated in a binding. The system builds the bind from the values in this entry and in the Bind entries of the associated protocols and services.
More than one component of the same type can be listed in this value. For example, if the computer has two network adapters, the value of Bind for a network adapter type would consist of two object names.
Note
A valid binding requires a value for three entries: Bind, Export, and Route.
Tip
To determine the type of hardware device represented by a class-GUID subkey, use a registry editor. Click the name of the class-GUID subkey (it appears as a 16-byte alphanumeric string within brackets). The device type appears in the value of the first, unnamed entry in the subkey.
Many digits in the GUID are unique to your system. However, the three digits preceding the first hyphen are specific to the device class and are the same on all systems. For example, the three digits preceding the first hyphen in the DVD/CD-ROM drives class are always 965.
Caution
Do not change any entries in the Class subkey or any subkey within it. These subkeys are configured by the system to be compliant with Plug and Play standards. Changing any data can prevent your computer devices from starting or operating properly.
