You can use the registry to configure various settings for your File server. For example, you can use the registry to perform the following configuration tasks:
- Share out available hard drives.
- Specify a network adapter on which the File server must listen.
- Create a print spooler file on a local hard drive to improve network printing performance.
The following example shows how to configure the registry to share two hard drives. These hard drives may be available through USB.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\HD1]
"Type"=dword:0
"Path"="\\Hard Disk"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer\Shares\HD2]
"Type"=dword:0
"Path"="\\Hard Disk2"
The following example configures the SMB server to listen on the second Realtek PCI network adapter as well as on VMINI.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMBServer]
"AdapterList"="PCI\\RTL81392;VMINI1"
