Warning
Incorrectly editing the registry can severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.
System Center Service Manager 2010 stores many settings in the registry. You seldom have to edit the registry yourself, because most of those settings are derived from entries that you make in day-to-day use. However, some settings might occasionally be required. Service Manager stores most registry values in the following locations:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\System Center\2010\Service Manager\Console
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\System Center\2010
