Subject: Pine and NT registry

From: Barry Landy <[email-masked]>

Someone on our site has reported to me that Pine appears to store
user-id and personal name in the NT registry and to use these in
preference to the values in the appropriate pinerc. (This came up after
a corruption that damaged the values in the registry).

Is this true? If so, is it appropriate behaviour?

Hello...

What version of PC-Pine is being used??

I currently run PC-Pine 4.33 on NT and I don't have any registry keys
other then the location of the Pinerc file and the location of the
pine.exe.

Does anyone else have other registry keys??

If you run "pine -registry dump", it will show you all of the registry
keys that pine sets.  Pine uses the pinerc and pine.exe keys.  The other
keys get set so that other programs (like IE) can fire up pine.  Pine does
not set user-id and personal name in the registry.

Jeff

ps.  "-registry clear" and "-registry set" options can also be useful if
you think the registry has the wrong data in it.

Barry,
The command "pine -registry dump" will show what it has put in the
registry.
