ColdFusion includes the CFREGISTRY tag, which allows you to get, set, and delete registry values. The registry is a database that Windows NT uses to maintain hierarchical information about users, hardware, and software. It includes keys and values:
To maintain consistency with other CFML tags, the CFREGISTRY tag refers to keys and value names as entries. Additionally, the CFREGISTRY SET action uses the value attribute to refer to value data.
Solaris note: ColdFusion for Solaris includes functionality that emulates the registry.
The registry contains information critical to your system. Be very careful when modifying and deleting registry values. Depending on expected usage, you might consider using the Basic Security tab of the ColdFusion Administrator to implement a tag restriction on the CFREGISTRY tag (this is especially true for ISPs, whose server may host a large and diverse set of applications).
