Re: WinCE 5.0 RegFlush on Cold Boot

What filesystem type are you using, RAM/ROM or ROM-only? How is nk.bin
loaded? Flashed into linear flash? Loaded by the bootloader into RAM from
somewhere?

Paul,

I have 2 volumes on the device, one that is bootable and hidden where the
Hive registry files reside and the other for file storage. The debugging
I added shows which volume is being written to.

How do you know that the command corresponds to a registry write? It's a
hive registry. Any write to the 'disk' would generate some writes.

Hello,

I have a WinCE 5.00 OS with IPSM 4.0 set up with Hive Registry, does
anyone know how to stop the OS from backing up the Registry on a cold
boot. I believe that it is doing a RegFlushKey when it update the
BootCount in the registry but I can not find any reference to this in
the OS source code.

I have check all my device drivers to see if any of them might be
calling RegFlushKey and they are not.

The reason I know that there is a backup of the registry at boot up is
because I added debugging in the OALIoCtlPsmFlashCmd function to show
when writes and erases occur in the IPSM.

Thanks for the help
