All registry options (required and optional) for the FileCap Outlook Plugin are described in this chapter.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
All registry values described in this chapter can be deployed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- The settings deployed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE will be used by every user logged in to the system.
- The settings deployed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER will only be used by that specific user the HKEY_CURRENT_USER overwrites the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE values.
For example; The language for the FileCap Outlook plugin is set in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to English, then everybody on that system is getting the English version of the Outlook plugin, but one employee wants to have the plugin in the Dutch language. Then you can set the language value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER for this specific user to Dutch. The result will be that one employee is having the Dutch Outlook Plugin and the other employees see the English Outlook Plugin.

By default after installation the registry key’s will be written in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FileCap or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FileCap depending on the version (32/64bits) installed.
For HKEY_CURRENT_USER the default location for registry key’s will be:
