STAR*NET V6 - Circe

2.7 The Registry
Chapter 2 Installation
The STAR*NET program makes use of your computer’s registry to keep track of certain
default directories, files and options. The items saved in the registry are automatically
created and managed by the program.
The following describes some of the information stored there.
The location of the STAR*NET “system” directory, the directory containing the
system files described in the previous section.
The size and location of the main STAR*NET window, plus the size and location of
most sub-windows (i.e. the listing and plot windows) when the program was last
used. The windows will come up looking the same the next run.
The Text Editor and Start-in Directory items selected by you using dialogues
accessed from the Files menu.
The “Recent Projects” list appearing at the bottom of the Files menu.
Printer and Plotter device preferences.
The options last-used by the points “Reformatter” tool.
The options last-used by the GPS vector importer in the PRO edition for specific
baseline formats.
When you install STAR*NET on another computer, these registry entries, of course, are
not copied and they will be reestablished by the program or reset by you.
If you reinstall the program (or install an updated version) over the original installation
on your computer, most of this registry information will be preserved. However you will
have to reset the “Start-in Directory” preferences in the Files menu.
When you “uninstall” the program, this registry information is removed.
Since this information is internally managed by STAR*NET, no documentation is given
to externally edit information in the registry.
