Hi, thanks for this product.

I use Network Scanner to read values about regedit. I found out a lot of settings about my computer.

I would like to know if a computer has sound. I manually disabled it in Control Panel\hw settings\high definition... and I disabled it.

Thanks for your time!!!

It's probably specific to your sound hardware and driver.

To find out where a setting is in the registry, create a complete registry dump via regedit.exe - File - Export - All before changing the setting, and then another dump after the setting was changed. Then compare these registry dumps to see what's changed.

There is a bunch of on-line file compare services, as well as free apps like WinMerge.

There is also a built-in file comparison command in Windows called fc and you can find out more by typing fc /? in the command prompt.
