Hello

When most games are run, it appears that DirectX is
writing back to the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER-
SOFTWARE->MICROSOFT->DIRECTINPUT.
Click to expand...

What is the reason for this, and what do the key fields
mean ?

direct input is your mouse and keyboard and any other
periphial you have installed (like a joystick, wheel,
etc). thats all the info you need to know ;)
 
Thanks for that, but what are the registry enteries used
for (and by what) ? I presume they can all be deleted
safely (especially as they're re-created on program
startup).
 
I wouldn't mess with the Registry. Unless you really know what you're
doing, let the system deal with it.
