On Windows operating systems the Wallet can either be stored in the file system or in the Windows registry. Storing the Wallet in the registry has several advantages. It creates an additional security layer, allowing transparency for all other users. When a user profile is removed, the Wallet in the profile is also removed. The Wallet is transparent to all other users and when the user logs out, access to the Wallet is automatically precluded.
The supported operations are:
Save a Wallet to the registry
Open a Wallet from the registry
Save as to a different registry location
Open Wallet from the file system, save it to the registry, and vice versa
Delete a Wallet from the registry
