Registry settings


The registry settings for the Internet Compliance Software are all stored under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
        Software
                AeroflightTechData
                        Compliance
                                Database
Note:  It is generally not a good idea to edit the registry.   Under some circumstances, a minor error may result in a total failure of your operating system.  In such cases, it may be necessary to reinstall the entire operating system from scratch.

                                        Alternate
Data Type: REG_SZ
Default: compliance.aftd.com
Description: This setting is used to allow the software to use an alternate Compliance Server.  For a large company or institution, it may be worthwhile for the company to operate its' own Compliance Server so that the accesses are local and are therefore faster than accesses via the Internet.

                                        LocalPath
Data Type: REG_SZ
Default: d:\CmplncDB
Description: This value of this key identifies the disk drive and directory used for the CD-ROM.  The major reason you might want to change this value is if you copy the data base from the CD-ROM onto your hard drive for faster access and so that you will not need to insert the CD-ROM into the drive to execute the software.
