Configuring System Update with start.reg
Configurable items will initially be set when System Update starts. The start.reg
file is used to update the Windows registry and is located in the folder where
System Update was installed. The registry fields are initially set based on the
contents of the start.reg file. The installed start.reg file has the default configuration
used by System Update.
