ClientApplications
specifies that client programs
be set as default applications when the user elects to restore the
computer manufacturer's settings through Default Programs.
This setting has been deprecated in Windows® 8. The information about this deprecated setting is provided for reference only. For information about setting the default file associations, see Default Application Association Servicing Command-Line Options.
Use these settings to configure Windows® so that a user can
later reinstate the original OEM configuration for these
applications. Any program specified for any of these settings must
be able to change default file associations. If a setting is
missing or blank, the default program associated with that setting
does not change when the user chooses to reinstate the original OEM
configuration. For example, if a setting is not specified for
JavaVM
, the default virtual machine for Java is left
unchanged.
This setting has no effect on Server Core installations of Windows Server® 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
