The Compact Disk/Universal Disk File System (CD/UDFS) retrieves driver specific settings from the registry.

You can place CD/UDFS settings at two different tiers in the registry hierarchy

  • Root file system key

    Settings made at the root key of the file system registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\UDFS, apply to every mounted instance of UDFS, unless explicitly overridden by a setting at a lower level. These setting apply to UDFS for all profiles.

  • Profile-specific settings

    Settings made at the Profiles registry subkey, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profile\CDProfile, apply only to devices that report the profile CDProfile.

The following table shows the registry settings for the CD/UDFS.

Registry value: Type Description
Dll: REG_SZ Specifies the name of the file system DLL.

FriendlyName: REG_SZ Specifies a friendly name for the file system.
MountLabel: REG_DWORD Pulls the volume label and uses it as a mount point.
Paging: REG_DWORD Controls paging. Set to 1 to enable paging for BinFS.
Util: REG_SZ Specifies the DLL name of utility to do format and scan.
MountFlags: REG_DWORD This value is deprecated for Windows CE 5.0 and later. For replacement values, see Mount Settings.
