You can change the registry settings for the OBEX server extensions. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OBEX\Services. The key can include one of the following subkeys:
- Universally unique identifier (UUID)
- String name
- Set of hexadecimal digits
There is a subkey for each exported service. A subkey must evaluate to a TARGETID field in the OBEX request packet. For more information about OBEX requests, see the OBEX documentation under "Object Exchange Protocol" in the MSDN library.
The registry key can also contain the value for BluetoothSdpRecord, which is sent to Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) for OBEX. The OBEX server provides a channel ID for the record, registers it at startup, and unregisters it at shutdown.
You can change the registry settings for the OBEX server configuration parameters. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OBEX.
