Where Does WinCDEmu Store Settings?

WinCDEmu keeps drive letter and language options in the registry, with ISO files staying where you saved them.

Last updated

WinCDEmu mounts disc images with barely any state of its own. Drive letter policy and language live in the registry, while images stay wherever you keep them.

Mounted drives evaporate on reboot by design unless persistence is set. The registry footprint is tiny enough to ignore for backups; images are the only files worth protecting.

Where WinCDEmu stores this, by platform

Windows
HKCU\Software\WinCDEmu

Drive letter policy and language settings. Mounted images reference their source paths, so moved ISOs need remounting from the new location.
