256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SUMMARY
The Fax Send utility in BackOffice Small Business Server allows a user to enter recipient information manually, or use the Exchange Address Book. If a user types in a recipient's name and fax number, that recipient's information will be displayed each time the Fax Send Wizard is used. This information will change if a new recipient is entered, but will not be replaced by any information entered from the Exchange Address Book.

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.

The recipient name is stored in the registry at:

KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Fax\UserInfo\

Value: LastRecipientName

The recipient fax number is stored in the registry at:

KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Fax\UserInfo\

Value: LastRecipientAreaCode and LastRecipientNumber

If the values are cleared, the fax send utility will not display the last recipient information.

Please note that the next time information is typed directly in the To: line of the Fax Send utility, it will again be stored to the registry. To clear the information repeat the steps above.



MORE INFORMATION
To avoid having information about the last recipient written to the registry, always use the Exchange Address Book.

In Microsoft Windows NT Workstation, the permission on the UserInfo registry key can be set to read-only. This prevents information from being written to the LastRecipient values, but it also prevents other information from being changed, such as selection of cover pages and sender information. If any values in the UserInfo key need to be changed, the permission on the key needs to be modified first.

Permissions on registry keys cannot be set in Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98.
