Description

The Driver Signing subkey in HKCU stores entries for the driver signing feature for Windows Server 2003. The entries in this subkey apply only to the current user of the computer.

Microsoft digitally signs driver files to affirm that the driver software has been tested with Windows and has not been altered since it was tested.

Note

  • The entries in this subkey apply only to the current user of the computer. The entries in the Microsoft\Driver Signing subkey in HKLM apply to all users of the computer.

  • The system adds this subkey to the registry when you change the default value of one of its entries.

Tip

  • For more information about driver signing, see Windows Server 2003 Help or Windows XP Professional Help.
