About Visio Registry Entries
Visio uses the Windows registry to store user settings and other
application-specific information. To keep the entries in the registry to
a minimum, Visio automatically writes out those settings that
are not default and a few others that are useful, such as,
file paths, import and export filters, and last files.
You can include all possible settings in the Windows registry. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Visio.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Advanced tab.
- Click to select the Put all settings in Windows registry check box.
- Click OK.
- Quit Visio.
This article explains the settings in the following registry subkeys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visio\VisioImports
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visio\VisioExportsMORE INFORMATIONWARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
