RegistryExceptionsUserDefined (Standard 8 Module Reference)

Review the applicable Feature modules and any examples for the RegistryExceptionsUserDefined setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains a string that specifies a registry key to exclude from being filtered. When a registry key is in the exclusion list, all writes to that registry key bypass Unified Write Filter (UWF) filtering and are written directly to the registry and persist after the device restarts.
