About Visio Registry Entries

Visio uses the Windows registry to store user settings and other application information. To keep the entries in the registry to a minimum, Visio automatically writes out only those settings that are not default and a few others that are useful (such as file paths, import and export filters, and last files).

How to Include All Possible Settings in the Registry

To include all possible settings in the registry, follow these steps:
  1. Start Microsoft Visio.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. Click to select the Put all settings in Windows registry check box.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Quit Visio.
