Name | Description | Mandatory/Optional | Language |
---|---|---|---|
Application Name | The name of the application, which is in a resource file. This registry value contains a string in a specified format. This could be a localized version of the application name, if the application is localized in languages other than English. The name appears in the Ease of Access Center. | Mandatory | Localized |
ATExe | The name of the application executable file or image. Windows uses this value to determine whether the accessibility application is running. | Mandatory | Not localized |
CopySettingsToLockedDesktop | A DWORD value that indicates whether to copy the accessibility application's settings to the locked desktop. If this value is 1, the application can write settings to a location in the user registry, and Windows copies the settings to the same location in the user registry for the locked desktop. This enables the application to persist its state from the 'normal' desktop to the locked desktop. | Optional | Not localized |
Description | A brief description of the application, from a resource file. This registry value contains a string in a specified format. This could be a localized version of the description, if the application is localized in languages other than English. The length of this string must be less than 512 characters. The description appears in the Ease of Access Center to provide additional information about the accessibility application to the user. This value can also be used to notify the user that the application is not used on the secure desktop. | Mandatory | Localized |
Profile | A short piece of XML that specifies the accommodations that the application provides. It ensures that the application appears under the correct category in the Ease of Access Center. | Mandatory | Not localized |
PassiveAutoStartBehavior | A DWORD value that indicates whether legacy auto-start behavior is enabled. The default value is 0, which indicates that an AT requires legacy auto-start behavior. This causes the “Start after sign-in” setting for that AT to be checked in the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) and Control Panel (see Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Ease of Access Center -> Change sign-in settings), and automatically starts the AT after UAC and lock-screen. A value of 1 indicates that the AT should use the new auto-start behavior where the “Start after sign-in” setting for that AT is not checked in the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) and Control Panel, and the AT is automatically started once per user session (at login) only if the “start after sign-in” setting is checked. | Optional | Not localized |
SecureDesktopAccommodation | The name of an alternate accessibility application to run on the secure desktop in the place of this application. The alternate can be a different application, a different version of the same application, one of the accessibility applications that is included in Windows, or 'none' if you do not want to run any accessibility application on the secure desktop. | Optional | Not localized |
Simple Profile | A value that describes how to classify the application in a word or two: Screen reader, Magnifier, or On-screen keyboard, for example. | Mandatory | Not localized |
StartExe | The full path of the executable. This value is used to launch the accessibility application. | Mandatory | Not localized |
StartParams | Command-line arguments. These values are used along with StartExe to start the application. | Optional | Not localized |
TerminateOnDesktopSwitch | A DWORD value that specifies how the accessibility application responds to transitions to or from the secure desktop. If this value does not exist or is 1, Windows terminates and restarts the application on each transition to or from the secure desktop. This is the default behavior. If this value is 0, Windows does not terminate the accessibility application on a desktop transition. The application continues to run on the previous desktop, and Windows starts a new instance on the new desktop if an instance is not already running there. | Optional | Not localized |
