MSKeyViewerPlus Help File

-------------------------
INSTALLATION AND USE
To use different translations, you can unzip the all of the files to the same di
rectory. When starting the program, the language files (.mlf) will be detected
and loaded into the program for use.
This program will run, however, with only the MSKeyViewerPlus.exe file. If no i
nitialization file (.ini) or languages files (.mlf) are found, the program will
default with English.
NOTE: The .mlf files included are standard text files which can be opened using
a text editor such as Notepad. If you would like to add a translation for your
native language, simply copy the English.mlf file to something else (ie. Espanol
.mlf), translate the text to the right of every '=' symbol, and save the file.
Also, please add your name and email address at the top of the file if you would
like credit for it in the About window. Once complete, restart the key viewer
and your language should appear in the Options list. Please make sure that your
language file is located in the same directory as the other language files.
If you have developed a language file for this utility, please send it to me at
tksherrer@iname.com so that it can be included in future releases and others can
benefit from the work!

Remote Registry Access Notes

----------------------------
- You must be connected to a remote machine with Administrator access to gather
information from the registry.

ocal or network firewalls.
- For a Windows XP Workstation that is not joined to a domain, you must turn of
f 'Simple File Sharing'.
- Windows Vista may not have the 'Remote Registry' service started by default.
This service must be running.
- MSKVP is limited to gathering information only from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE at thi
s time for remote access. Programs that store data in HKEY_CURRENT_USERS will n
ot be shown in MSKVP when connecting to a remote registry. These programs inclu
