REG_OPTION_VOLATILE和REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE

重启电脑创建的注册表键值丢失原因

REG_OPTION_VOLATILE  这个参数的意思是创建的注册表键值都位于内存中，不会保存到相应的注册表文件中。

英文如下：

All registry keys are created as volatile, and the information is stored in memory and is not preserved when the corresponding registry hive is unloaded. For HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, this occurs when the OS is shut down. TheRegSaveKey function does not save volatile registry keys. This flag is ignored for keys that already exist.

所以，重启后这些键值当然就没有了。

 

解决办法

很简单，使用REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE 即可

RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, DemoRegKey, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE
            , KEY_ALL_ACCESS   , NULL   , &hKey, NULL);        

 

REG_OPTION_VOLATILE可以用在测试上。一重启，之前创建的键值都没了。

而若想重启之后注册表键值也仍然保留的话就用REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE。

 REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE：

该宏是RegCreateKeyEx函数的参数可选项。

LONG RegCreateKeyEx( HKEY hKey,

LPCWSTR lpSubKey,

 DWORD Reserved,

LPWSTR lpClass,

DWORD dwOptions,

REGSAM samDesired,

 LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes,

 PHKEY phkResult,

LPDWORD lpdwDisposition );

看看MSDN对它的说明：

 

Default setting. All registry keys are created as non-volatile and the information stored in memory is preserved when the OS is restarted. The RegSaveKey function saves keys that are non-volatile.

翻译：默认设置。 所有注册表项 创建 作为非易失性 和 操作系统 重新启动 时保留 在内存 中存储的信息 。 RegSaveKey 功能 键 是 非易失性 保存 。

意思是说如果参数 dwOptions 选择REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE，则通过RegCreateKeyEx创建的注册表是永久的，不会因为计算机的重启而消失。相反参数选择REG_OPTION_VOLATILE，则表明创建的注册表是临时的，计算机重启后该注册表不存在。
