A. An inf file has many uses including the creation of registry keys.Normally a string value is created but to create a DWORD use the followingformat:
[Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" Provider=%Provider% [Strings] Provider="SavillTech Ltd" [DefaultInstall] AddReg = AddReg DelReg = DelReg UpdateInis = UpdateInis [AddReg] HKLM,"SoftwareSavillTech","A DWORD",65537,ee,ff,c0,00 [DelReg] [UpdateInis]
The important part is after the value name "A DWORD" is the typeand a 0 in lowest bit means a string value, a 1 means another type. 0x10000 is aDWORD value hence 65537. The rest if the value is in four hexadecimal numbers.
