DataFiles

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WINS\Parameters\

Description

The Wins\Parameters\Datafiles subkey contains entries representing the files that the WINS server uses to initialize and reinitialize its local database. These files contain static records.

By default, this subkey does appear in the registry. However, you can add it to the registry and add entries to direct WINS to add static records in the specified data files to its database.

The entries in the Datafiles subkey have the following format:

Entry name [Path\] File name
Data type REG_SZ | REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value (Blank)

The path is optional. If you do not enter a path, WINS assumes the files are located in the directory from which the WINS service runs. The file can have any name and file name extension.

Windows 2000 does not add this subkey to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
