What about the stuff in win.ini/[mci extensions]. Is that used?
yes, in some internal mci function (but that doesn't need to be changed by end users. we just need to list the default extensions for the given mci playback. I haven't found yet an equivalent in the registry
Well, it would be real nice to move these to the registry. If MS has no place, we can invent one of our own. To keep compatibility, we can look in win.ini, if not there, look in the registry. That will allow us to drop win.ini altogether, and have a cleaner install, simple documentation, etc.
didn't search hard enough in fact, I was searching in Win9x, where it isn't present, and only configured in .ini files. In NT, they seem to be stored in
for win.ini in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MCI Extensions
for system.ini in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MCI32
