* Some settings that are stored in MPSettings are editable from System > Options in the Bp Allied User Interface.
** Most items can be saved in either location in the registry, and hence the field has been left blank but depends on the logged in users access. The location has been specified where there is a required location for this information. Note the caveat for using the various registry options below.
HKCU = HKey Current User - any user logged onto the computer can update these fields for their own computer profile ONLY. If another person logs into the computer, they will not see these settings.
HKLM = HKey Local Machine - the user requires Administrative rights to update these fields. These are usually set when the application is installed (but not always).
