Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You use the Registry Filter feature to configure custom registry settings on a device that is running Windows Embedded POSReady 7 or Windows Thin PC. 
  • You use the Regfcfg.exe utility to apply the settings.
In this scenario, some registry settings are not applied correctly.

For example, you configure the following registry settings:
  • You set the DWORD value of RamdiskSize to 00000000.
  • You set the DWORD value of RamdiskFs to 00000000.
  • You set the value of RamdiskLocation to \\??\\F:.
  • You set the value of RamdiskFilename to Test.log.
Note These registry entries are located under the following registry subkey:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WindowsEmbedded\RegFilter
You use the Regfcfg.exe utility to apply the settings. In this situation, the settings are not applied successfully. Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
