Enable Desktop Gadget support

 

This option can be used to enable publishing sensor values to Desktop Gadget.  The AIDA64 Desktop gadget is automatically copied to the Desktop gadgets folder, but the gadget itself needs to be activated manually by adding the gadget to the Desktop by right-clicking on the Desktop / Gadgets.  Supported operating systems include Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.  Windows XP with Vista 5744 Sidebar for XP is also supported.

 

Use HKLM in Registry

 

When this option is enabled, AIDA64 uses HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE path in the Registry to store measured temperature, voltage and fan speed values.  When this option is disabled, AIDA64 uses HKEY_CURRENT_USER path in the Registry.
