NoteHKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service-name>\Linkage
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_MULTI_SZ | ServiceName ServiceName ... | There is no default value for this entry. |
Specifies services required by the network component in addition to those specified in the binding. This entry and its value are retained when bindings are reconfigured, even when the other entries in the Linkage subkey are deleted and recreated.
For example, in the NetBT\Linkage subkey, the value of OtherDependencies is Tcpip. This value indicates that NetBT requires TCP/IP, regardless of its current binding configuration.
Note
A valid binding requires a value for three entries: Bind, Export, and Route.
Services upon which the network component depends due to its current binding are stored in its DependOnService entry.
Windows 2000 adds this entry to the subkey only when it is required by the network component. It does not appear in all Linkage subkeys.
Caution
Bindings are created by the system. Do not change the values of these entries.
