Where Does Splashtop Streamer Store Settings?

Where the Splashtop Streamer keeps settings in the registry and on disk.

Last updated

The Splashtop Streamer keeps its settings in the Windows registry rather than an ini file: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Server on 32 bit, with the WOW6432Node mirror on 64 bit. Deployment packages seed those values at install time.

Binaries sit under the Splashtop Program Files tree. There is no portable mode to chase. For mass changes prefer a fresh deployment package over registry edits, since typos here break remote access silently.

Where Splashtop stores this, by platform

Windows
HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Server

Registry root for all Streamer settings on 64 bit Windows (plain SOFTWARE path on 32 bit). Deployment codes and defaults seed these values. Back up the key before hand edits.

Frequently asked questions

Where are Streamer options stored on Windows?

Open regedit and read the Splashtop Remote Server key under HKLM SOFTWARE. Deployed and logged in streamers both expose their options there, which is also where support points for scripted tweaks.

My Streamer settings keep reverting. Why?

Rebuild the deployment package in the web console with your defaults and reinstall with the 12 digit code in the filename. Local hand edits get overwritten by the next policy sync on managed machines.
