WININET.DLL registry settings
Jim McCabe
I'm looking for a list of configuration settings used by the new Win32
Internet APIs (WININET.DLL). This DLL stores a lot of settings in the
registry under:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/
I've been told they are documented in the ActiveX SDK, but I can't find any
comprehensive list there. All I've seen is a passing mention of a few
settings in the surfbear sample program. (Those were found by accident -- it
doesn't show up in a developer studio search because the registry info is
shown as a bitmap!)
Using REGEDIT, there are clearly many more settings than are documented in the
surfbear example. I'd like to write a freeware utility that lets you
configure these options as a companion to another project I'm working on. In
the past I've had problems with WININET.DLL not functioning due to a incorrect
configuration, so this is somewhat important for my project. I know these
things can be configured via Internet Explorer 3.0, but I don't want to
require installation of IE just so they can configure a few of these settings
for my app.
Is there a comprehensive list of these settings somewhere? Thanks for the
help,
