| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Determines whether the system sends spooler and job status messages when the job count changes.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Status messages are not sent. |
| 1 | Status messages are sent. |
Note
In Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, the spooler sent messages by default, but this behavior is changed in Windows 2000 to improve performance.
Caution
A value of 1 can degrade the performance of your system by requiring programs that don't use spooler information to read and discard it.
