registry shares

This turns on or off support for share definitions read from registry. Shares defined in smb.conf take precedence over shares with the same name defined in registry. See the section on registry-based configuration for details.
Note that this parameter defaults to no, but it is set to yes when config backend is set to registry.

Example: yes

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
