Keyboard registry question

[JP Breton]

What is the utility of the Substitutes key under HKCU\Keyboard Layout?

If I only use one keyboard Layout (under Preload) can i delete the value in
Substitutes?

Thanks

JP

If you are merely trying to 'tidy' your registry, I believe MS have stated,
cleaning the reg. is of no advantage under xp

 

[JP Breton]

I am trying to understand the use of that keyboard value, bacause I am
having a weird problem.

If you don't want to help me fine, but please don't come here to tell me I
should not play in the registry.

The value is probably there because you have Canadian English for a keyboard
layout.

-----

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout

Default: 00000409 (for standard U.S. English)

[[The Keyboard Layout\Substitutes key is empty by default. This subkey
records a mapping between keyboard layout names. The system checks the
user's Substitutes subkey when loading the keyboard driver, and if a
substitute is specified, the corresponding layout name is substituted. For
example, an entry such as the following under the Keyboard
Layout\Substitutes subkey indicates that the user prefers the Dvorak U.S.
English keyboard layout (00010409) to the standard U.S. English keyboard
layout (00000409). ]]

[[If a keyboard language specified in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard
Layout\preload
is configured with a nondefault keyboard layout, a subkey with that language
number appears
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes ]]

I use the standard U.S. English keyboard layout.

I have no other languages selcted in Regional And Language Options.

My registry entries...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload
1
REG_SZ
00000409

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes
(Default)
REG_SZ
(value not set)

It's kind of like looking up a word in the dictionary to see how it's
spelled. ;-)
