Necessary Changes to the Registry

Notes Menu Launcher makes several modifications to the registry.

Note: Some of the settings are obfuscated, to keep your registration information a little bit more secure for prying eyes. This information is at the present time not possible to recreate in a manual matter.

Another thing to note; If you select to install Notes Menu Launcher for all users, the following keys and values below should be placed in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software hierarchy. If you just want to install for the current user, place keys and values in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software hierarchy. Read much more about that here.

Below you see an image of the registry content:

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive

The Options and Data keys are obfuscated. Below is a table which identifies each key and it's value
