The following registry code, taken from common.reg, shows default registry settings for FAT (file allocation table) file systems.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
    "FriendlyName"="FAT FileSystem"
    "Dll"="exfat.dll"
    "DisableAutoFormat"=dword:1
    "DisableAutoScan"=dword:1
    "Paging"=dword:1
    "EnableCache"=dword:1
    "CacheSize"=dword:0
    "Util"="fatutil.dll"
    "CacheDll"="diskcache.dll"
    "LowStorageThreshold"=dword:A

Remarks

FATFS functionality is implemented in the file exfat.dll.

To implement ExFAT functionality, you must set "FormatExFat"=dword:1 in the registry. To implement TFAT functionality, you must set "FormatTFAT"=dword:1 in the registry. Otherwise, the functionality defaults to FAT. The change will not take place until the storage media is formatted with the new specification.

Note

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\EXFAT registry key is not supported in Windows Embedded Compact 2013.
