Note

The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of o9, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won’t be updated automatically.

Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
