About Visio Registry Entries
Visio uses the Windows registry to store user settings and other application information. To keep the entries in the registry to a minimum, Visio automatically writes out only those settings that are not default and a few others that are useful (such as file paths, import and export filters, and last files).
How to Include All Possible Settings in the Registry
To include all possible settings in the registry, follow these steps:
- Start Microsoft Visio.
- On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the Advanced tab.
- Click to select the Put all settings in Windows registry check box.
- Click OK.
- Quit Visio.
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.
Main Locations of Visio Settings
Most settings in Visio are stored in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Visio\Visio 2000\application
The application subkey includes settings that are application-wide in scope. The following table contains a detailed explanation of the items in this subkey:
AddonsPath=Solutions
--------------------
The location of Visio add-on executables (programs written in Microsoft
Visual Basic or another programming language that supports Automation)
and Visio add-on libraries. Can be relative to the location of VISIO.EXE or fully qualified.
AltFilterINIFile=VISIO.INI
--------------------------
If INIFileForFilters=2, use this setting to specify the .INI file name.
AltFilterINIFileExportSect=Exports
----------------------------------
If INIFileForFilters=2, use this setting to specify the name of the
Export section in the .INI file set by AltFilterINIFile.
AltFilterINIFileImportSect=Imports
----------------------------------
If INIFileForFilters=2, use this setting to specify the name of the
Import section in the .INI file set by AltFilterINIFile.
Animation=60000
---------------
The time in milliseconds between evaluations of the NOW() function
in ShapeSheet formulas. The default is one minute. To evaluate NOW()
more frequently, set Animation to a smaller value, such as 125.
AreaSelection=0
---------------
Determines the mode of selection when using the pointer tool to drag a selection net around shapes.
0 Only shapes entirely within the selection net are selected
1 Shapes partially within the selection net are selected
AutoStartIME=0
--------------
Determines whether to enable the Input Method Editor (IME) when
the user starts Visio. The IME assists the user in entering characters
from multi-byte character sets, typically used on Far East systems.
0 Do not automatically enable the IME.
1 Automatically enable the IME.
BiDiMode=0xFFFF
---------------
When Visio displays a line of text, it calculates the position of
characters in the line multiple times to achieve optimal spacing
between the characters. This ensures that text on the screen
exactly matches the text when printed. If the text mixes characters
from languages that run in different directions - for example, English
(left to right) and Arabic or Hebrew (right to left), attempting to
achieve optimal spacing may cause reversed or missing characters.
Use the BiDiMode setting to control Visio behavior when displaying
bidirectional text.
0 Make multiple calculations to achieve optimal
character spacing.
Recommended for single-language text.
1 Make a single run, regardless of system settings.
0xFFFF Use Windows international system settings.
Recommended for mixed-language, bidirectional text.
BlastFlag=1
-----------
Determines the default behavior with respect to local formulas when
styles are applied from the toolbar.
Zero Keep local formulas.
Non-zero Reset local formulas.
BuiltDirectoryCache=0
---------------------
Non-zero indicates that the Visio directory cache has been built and saved
in VISIO.BIN. Set this value to 0 if you want to force Visio to rebuild this cache.
ChunkyDraw=350
---------------
This number represents the number of milliseconds between each
successive bit transfer of the offscreen drawing buffer to the screen. A
value of zero turns off ChunkyDraw, which results in a single bit transfer
to the screen for each drawing window update (WM_PAINT message).
DrawOffscreen must be turned on (DrawOffscreen=1) for this number to
have any effect.
CircularTestLimit=20
--------------------
The number of times a cell is recalculated before it is tested for
Inclusion in a circular reference.
CubicTolerance=5
----------------
How closely Visio follows the mouse pointer when drawing a freeform
curve, or spline: the lower the number, the more closely Visio follows
the pointer. The CubicTolerance setting corresponds to the Smoothing
option in the FreeForm Drawing section in the Options dialog box.
CustomCommonDialog=1
--------------------
Determines which dialog boxes Visio uses.
Zero Use the Windows default dialog box templates.
Non-zero Use the Visio custom templates for the common dialog
boxes (File Open, File Save, Save As, and so forth).
CustomMenusFile =
-----------------
The name and path of a file that contains custom menus and
accelerators to use for all instances of Visio.
CustomToolbarsFile =
--------------------
The name and path of a file that contains custom toolbars and status
bars to use for all instances of Visio.
Default3LegConnectorFile =
--------------------------
The name of an alternate file that contains a 3-legged connector.
Default3LegConnectorName =
--------------------------
The name of the master shape in the file specified in
Default3LegConnectorFile.
Default5LegConnectorFile =
--------------------------
The name of an alternate file that contains a 5-legged connector.
Default5LegConnectorName =
--------------------------
The name of the master shape in the file specified in
Default5LegConnectorFile.
DefaultCurrencyFmt=0
--------------------
DefaultCurrencyFmt determines how Visio formats currency when it is
displayed as a string. The default setting, zero, uses the formatting
specified in the user's international system settings. Non-local
currency is displayed using the local currency settings for thousands
and decimal separators and positive/negative format, but uses the
ISO 4217 three-character currency mnemonic for the currency symbol,
displayed after the value separated by a space.
DefaultCurrencyFmt is a mask that allows you to control several related
formatting options. You simply add together the options you
want to set. DefaultCurrencyFmt affects formatting of all currency
within the application. The mask is easiest to understand in its
hexadecimal format, because most values are powers of 2. Both the
hex and decimal values are listed below.
To control the displayed currency symbol, chose one of the following:
0x0000 or 0 Local currency uses the symbol defined by the
international settings.
Non-local currency uses its ISO 4217 three-character
mnemonic.
0x0200 or 512 Both local and non-local currency use their local symbol.
0x0400 or 1024 Both local and non-local currency use ISO 4217
three-character.
To control the display format of positive and negative currency values,
chose one of the following:
0x0000 or 0 Use the user's international settings.
0x0100 or 256 Use the explicit settings defined below.
Explicit negative formats:
0x0000 or 0 ($1.1)
0x0001 or 1 -$1.1
0x0002 or 2 $-1.1
0x0003 or 3 $1.1-
0x0004 or 4 (1.1$)
0x0005 or 5 -1.1$
0x0006 or 6 1.1-$
0x0007 or 7 1.1$-
0x0008 or 8 -1.1 $
0x0009 or 9 -$ 1.1
0x000A or 10 1.1 $-
0x000B or 11 $ 1.1-
0x000C or 12 $ -1.1
0x000D or 13 1.1- $
0x000E or 14 ($ 1.1)
0x000F or 16 (1.1 $)
Explicit positive formats:
0x0000 or 0 $1.1
0x0010 or 16 1.1$
0x0020 or 32 $ 1.1
0x0030 or 48 1.1 $

DefaultFontFamily=0xFFFF
------------------------
The font family to which the default font belongs, as defined in the
Windows logical font structure for that font.
DefaultFontName =
-----------------
The name of the font to use as the default. If you format text in the
default font, Visio automatically uses whatever font is defined as the
default on the user's system. This method allows a more flexible mapping
of fonts. The default font is displayed at the top of the font list in
angle brackets (< >) if ShowDefaultFont is non-zero. The default font
also has the value 0 in the Font cell of the Characters section of the
ShapeSheet.
Developer=0
-----------
Non-zero enables certain developer Visio user interface (UI) functionality.
DontShowWelcomeDialog=0
-----------------------
Non-zero disables the Welcome to Visio 2000 dialog upon launch.
DragBitmap=3
------------
Determines whether Visio creates a bitmap representation of a dragged
shape or master while waiting to drop the shape or master.
0 Do not create a bitmap representation. Only an outline of the shapes(s)
is displayed.
1 A bitmap representation of the shape(s) is displayed after the duration
specified by the MousePauseTime setting. (Default behavior for releases
prior to 5.0c.)
2 A bitmap representation of the shape(s) is always displayed.
3 A bitmap representation of the shape(s) is always displayed unless the
selection exceeds 25 shapes, one or more bitmaps, or one or more
metafiles. Behavior will then default to the behavior described in
DragBitmap=1.
DrawingsPath=Drawings
---------------------
The default path for saving Visio drawings. Can be relative to the
location of VISIO.EXE or fully qualified. Multiple paths are separated
by a semicolon. If a Drawings directory doesn't exist, Visio will use
the Explorer Shell Folder for personal document storage (usually "My Documents").
DrawOffscreen=1
---------------
To enable flicker-free redraw, drawing can be done to an offscreen buffer,
then a bit transfer to the screen.

GengoData2=yyyy/mm/dd,english_short,kanji_short,kanji_long
----------------------------------------------------------
The Japanese version of Visio has built-in date information for the
Emperors Meiji, Taishou, Shouwa, and Heisei. If new emperor(s) come to
power between releases of Visio, the user can customize gengo date
information by setting these entries. If both GengoData1 and GengoData2
are set, GengoData2 should be later chronologically. Dates are formatted
at run time, so these entries should be updated in all VISIO.INI files
on all systems, or the date may be formatted differently on different
systems.
yyyy/mm/dd The first date of the new emperor's reign.

activated for in-place editing. "0xFFFF" tells Visio to use the current
system defaults.
HelpPath=Help;Solutions
-----------------------
The location of help files for templates and stencils.
HideVerticalFonts=0
-------------------
Zero to display vertically-oriented fonts in the Visio font list, or non-
zero to hide vertically-oriented fonts. Although Visio does not provide
true vertical text composition, you can get the effect of vertical text
by using a vertical font and resizing the text box to force a single-
character column. A vertical font is designated with a @ as the first
character of its name. Vertical fonts are typically used on Far East
systems.
IMEDefaultFontCharset=0xFFFF
----------------------------
The character set of the default font to be used by the Input Method Editor
(IME), as defined in the Windows logical font structure for that font.
The Visio default for Japanese is the ShiftJIS character set. The following
are examples of typical settings:
128 ShiftJIS
129 Hangeul
134 GB2312
136 ChineseBig5
0xFFFF causes Visio to use Windows international system settings.
IMEDefaultFontFamily=0xFFFF

The font family to which the default IME font belongs, as defined in the
Windows logical font structure for that font. 0xFFFF causes Visio to use
Windows international system settings.
IMEDefaultFontName=???
----------------------
The name of the font to use as the default in the IME. If you format text in the default font, Visio automatically uses whatever font is defined as the default on the user's system, which allows a more flexible mapping of fonts. The string "???" causes Visio to use Windows international system settings.
INIFileForFilters=0
-------------------
Indicates where to look for information about import and export filters.
Zero Use the [VisioImports] and [VisioExports]
sections of VISIO.INI.
1 Use the [MS Graphic Import Filters] and
[MS Graphic Export Filters] sections of WIN.INI.
2 Use the [AltFilterINIFileImportSect] and
[AltFilterINIFileExportSect] sections of the file
specified by AltFilterINIFile.

InPlaceHeight=3.0 in.
---------------------
The default width and height of the Visio embedded object when it is
edited in-place.
IsMultiByteAware=0
------------------
Non-zero to handle multi-byte character sets, typically used on Far East
systems. Setting IsMultiByteAware to a non-zero value may cause Visio to
run more slowly, but it will run more reliably when using a multi-byte
character set.
LastFile1=FLOWCHT.VSD
LastFile2=
LastFile3=
LastFile4=
LastFile5=
LastFile6=
LastFile7=
LastFile8=
LastFile9=
---------------------
The last nine files used in Visio. These appear on the File menu under

than zero to ensure that lines and text print in black.
LineTolerance=5
---------------
How far the mouse pointer can deviate from a straight line before Visio
starts drawing a freeform curve, or spline: the higher the number, the
farther the mouse pointer can deviate. The LineTolerance setting
corresponds to the Precision option in the FreeForm Drawing section in
the Options dialog box.
LiveMouseDynamics=1
-------------------
When you resize or rotate a shape, you can see the shape as it is being
transformed, instead of just seeing the bounding box until the action
is complete.
0 = Don't show live dynamics
1 = Show live dynamics
LoadVBAProjectsFromText=1
-------------------------
Loading VBA projects from text forces recompilation of the VBA project everytime it is loaded by Visio.
0 = Do Not load VBA from text
1 = Load VBA from text
LoopLimit = 40
--------------
The maximum number of times Visio processes a dependency loop in a
ShapeSheet formula before stopping recalculation. For best results, set
LoopLimit to a value greater than 10, because some complicated shapes
may legitimately loop several times during recalculation.
MacroVirusProtection=0
----------------------
Different options for virus checking.
0 = Don't check for viruses when the user opens files and
always enable macros.
1 = Always ask the user what to do.

use one of the following values:
0 Use the localized full unit name (INCH vs IN)
1 Use the localized abbreviated name (IN. vs INCH)
2 Use the localized formula unit name (" vs INCH)
3 Use the universal unit name
To combine other options, add values from the following list:
4 Show the unit label for default unit data
8 Omit unit labels (12 vs 12MI). Takes precedence
over other label-related flags.
16 Convert label to lowercase (6in vs 6IN)
32 Include inches even if zero (5'0" vs 5')

MouseDetectCreate=3
-------------------
The number of pixels you must move the mouse before Visio detects a
drawing action to create a new shape.
MouseDetectDrag=3
-----------------
The number of pixels you must move a dragged shape before Visio detects
a motion.
MousePauseTime=1000
-------------------
The number of milliseconds the mouse must pause before Visio creates a
bitmap representation of a dragged shape (see DragBitmap, above).
NetFlags=0
----------
Used to resolve an error 113, 115, or 116 when saving files,
particularly to a network or floppy disk drive. These errors tend to
occur when a user's network permissions are incompatible with the
permissions that Visio needs in order to save files.
1 Remove the user's file naming privileges
3 Remove the user's file rename and delete privileges.
NewDocCreateMode=0
------------------
Determines whether new documents are loaded from a resource or built from scratch
0 = Use application default (from resource)

OLESizeIncludeBlackBits=1
-------------------------
Non-zero When embedding a Visio object, tightly enclose all
of the object's black bits, regardless of the position
of the object's alignment box.
Zero Clip the object to its alignment box, even if part of
the shape is outside of the box.
OLEUpdateDelay=10000
--------------------
The number of milliseconds between updates when Visio is embedded.
OpenHierarchical=0

Zero Don't display a border or its shadow around the drawing page.
Non-zero Display a border and its shadow around the drawing page.
PrintMethodUsesSystemDefault=0
------------------------------
Determines which printer the Print method will use.
0 The Print method prints the drawing's cached printer. (Default
behavior for releases earlier than 5.0c.)
1 The Print method prints to the system default printer, which can be
different than the drawing's cached printer. The printer
information cached in the drawing is NOT changed, even if the system
default printer is different from the drawing's cached printer.
PromptForSummaryInfo=1
----------------------
0 Do not prompt for summary information when saving a file
for the first time.
1 Prompt for summary information.
PutAllInRegistry=0
------------------
Set this value to 1 to have Visio write all settings to the registry.
PutAllInRegistry can be set through the Visio UI. On the Tools menu
click Options, click the Advanced tab, and click to select the "Put all
settings in Windows registry" check box.
Click Ok to dismiss the dialog box and have the settings written.
This replaces IniShowAll from earlier versions of Visio.
RegionComplexity=150
--------------------
To enable faster redraw, this number determines the maximum number of:
* Rectangles used to make up the drawing window's update region.
* "Top-level" shapes that can contribute invalid rectangles to the update
region (that is, the number of objects that can contribute their
bounding boxes). In releases earlier than 5.0c, this number was hard
coded as 5.
If this number is exceeded, then the overall encompassing rectangle for all
invalid objects is used to invalidate the drawing window, and ALL objects in the rectangle will be redrawn.
