SIS Groveler Configuration Parameters

  • Article

Table 24.4 is a list of registry entries for SIS Groveler configuration. SIS is configured by default for optimum performance and minimal system disruption. The HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Groveler\Parameters key is created by default. None of the optional values are created by default. Modify these parameters with caution.

caution-iconCaution

Do not use a registry editor to edit the registry directly unless you have no alternative. The registry editors bypass the standard safeguards provided by administrative tools. These safeguards prevent you from entering conflicting settings or settings that are likely to degrade performance or damage your system. Editing the registry directly can have serious, unexpected consequences that can prevent the system from starting and require that you reinstall Windows 2000. To configure or customize Windows 2000, use the programs in Control Panel or the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) whenever possible.

The SIS Groveler configuration entries are located in the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Groveler\Parameters
