My company has a fax shared on one of the 2003 servers. When I print to this
fax server in Windows XP the Fax Wizard walks me thru all the necesarry
screens and remembers my Delivery Notification settings, i.e. whether I want
a notification, the email address I want the notification sent to and the
attach a copy of the fax to the notification. All of these settings I can
find in the XP Registry at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Fax\UserInfo\ReceiptEMail(dword),
ReceiptAttachFax(dword) and ReceiptAddress(string). However, I cannot find
these same settings in Vista Registry. I can set these each time I send a
fax in Vista under Tools\Options, but it is a pain to have to set these
everytime I send a fax in Vista.

Where can I find the equivalent Vista Registry values?
 
Hi,

Thank you for posting here.

I understand that you need to set fax setting everytime, and you want to
know if there is a registry value to modify it. If I'm off base, please
feel free to let me know.

Yes, you can find related settings under

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Fax\FaxOptions

Please modify the values.

If you have any questions or concerns with the suggestions I provided,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

Hope it helps.

Hello Robinson,

Thanks for the info. However, only the ReceiptAddress value works in
FaxOptions. What is the Vista syntax for the XP ReceiptEMail and XP
ReceiptAttachFax options. It doesn't do me a lot of good to be able to retain
the email address if I can't enable the Email notification and attach fax to
the notification options too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have involved my colleagues work on the question. If I get any response
from them, I will let you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi,

My colleagues and I did many tests on our side and Windows Fax and Scan
remembers our setting.

Given the current situation, could you please check whether you modify fax
setting in Windows Fax and Scan window, not a new fax window. If we modify
fax setting in Windows Fax and Scan window, Windows will apply the setting
to all new faxes.

Could you please check it?

Thanks.
