Create and Manage Registry Groups
-
Click 'Settings' > 'System Templates' > 'Registry Variables'

The 'Registry Variables' tab contains references to pre-defined and custom registry groups.
A registry group is a collection of registry keys with similar attributes or scope.
For example, the 'Important Keys' group contains keys which are essential to the security and stability of the operating system. The 'Automatic Startup' group contains keys which load at Windows boot.

Registry groups are useful when you want to apply an action to an entire class of keys. For example, you can exclude a registry group from containment when creating a profile.

Groups in this interface are available for selection when configuring a Windows profile.
