STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

Although this is by design, you may want to turn off the automatic insertion of AppWizard-generated projects into Component Gallery. To do this, you must change the setting of a registry key. The key is: 
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Developer\Gallery\ScanProjects
Setting this key to a value of 1 causes AppWizard-generated projects to be added to the Component Gallery. A value of 0 disables this feature.

The Gallery\ScanProjects key does not exist by default. You must create it. To add this key to the registry, do the following:

In Windows 95

  1. Run Regedit by clicking Start on the Run menu.
  2. Select the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Developer key.
  3. Add the Gallery Key by on the Edit menu, clicking New and then clicking Key.
  4. Select the Gallery Key, and add a DWORD value named ScanProjects by on the Edit menu, clicking New and then clicking DWORD.
  5. Set the value of ScanProjects to the needed value. The value can be changed by double-clicking the value name or by selecting the name and on the Edit menu, clicking Modify. Set the value to one of these:

    0 - disable adding projects to component gallery
    1 - enable adding projects to component gallery

In Windows NT

  1. Run Regedt32 by on the File menu clicking Run in Program Manager.
  2. Select the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Developer key.
  3. Add the Gallery Key. This key is created by on the Edit menu, clicking Add Key. The Class edit box should be blank.
  4. Select the Gallery Key, and add a DWORD value named ScanProjects by on the Edit menu, clicking Add Value. The Data Type should be REG_DWORD.
  5. Set the value of ScanProjects to 0 or 1 depending on the needed behavior. The value can be changed by double-clicking the value name or by selecting the name, and on the Edit menu, clicking DWORD. Set the value to one of these:

    0 - disable adding projects to component gallery
    1 - enable adding projects to component gallery
