REGISTRY ENTRIES FOR MICROSOFT SCHEDULE+

The settings used by Microsoft Schedule+ to track basic information about the user’s schedule, such as display and general option settings, current window positions, and printer information are stored under the following key:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Schedule+

The Schedule+ key contains the following subkeys:

Subkey                 Purpose

Microsoft Schedule     Defines the appearance and behavior of Schedule+.
Microsoft Schedule+    Indicates the number and list of other
Appt books             users's Appointment Books that were open when you
                       exited Schedule+.
Microsoft Schedule+    Indicates the number and list of Archive
Archives               files that were open when you exited Schedule+.
Microsoft Schedule+    Specifies DLL filenames for exporters.
Exporters
Microsoft Schedule+    Specifies DLL filenames for importers.
Importers

Most of these entries have built-in defaults. You should not need to change the Schedule+ settings. To change the appearance and behavior of Schedule+, use the appropriate Schedule+ menu commands. Many values are for saving settings between sessions.

These keys are created in HKEY_CURRENT_USER when you first run Schedule+. If your system previously contained a Windows for MS-DOS version of SCHDPLUS.INI, the contents are migrated to the Registry when you first run Schedule+ under Windows NT.
