How to add 'copy image file to memory' (-t vm) in Registry

imdisk registry

The correct name of the flags value should be "Flags0", not "Flag0". You can also omit the "Size0" value.

I've just managed to load a ramdisk from file using the registry, but I do not want changes to be written back to the file.

 

Using the 'copy image file to memory' seems to be what I need, but how can I enable this -t vm switch in the registry?

 

This is what I currently have

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ImDisk\Parameters]
"LoadDevices"=dword:00000001
"FileName0"="\\Device\\HarddiskVolume1\\RamDisk\\tempdrive.img"
"DriveLetter0"="X"
"Size0"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"Flag0"=dword:00000200


Edit: According to http://www.ltr-data....127855d7e11.htm Flag0 with value of value 512 (200 hex) should work, but ImDisk still writes data back to the image file. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I got the registry example from another post. After using Flags0 instead of Flag0 it works perfect, thank you
