About Visio Registry Entries
Visio uses the Windows registry to store user settings and other application-specific information. To keep the entries in the registry to a minimum, Visio automatically writes out those settings that are not default and a few others that are useful, such as, file paths, import and export filters, and last files.

You can include all possible settings in the Windows registry. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Visio.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Advanced tab.
 * 3) Click to select the Put all settings in Windows registry check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
 * 5) Quit Visio.

The following registry subkey is the main location for Visio settings:

The document subkey contains state information that is specific to the current document. Much of this information is also stored in the Visio data file. This article explains the settings stored in this subkey.



MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
