Use of the registry by WhiskerServer

WhiskerServer stores information in two places in the registry, that mysterious database at the heart of Windows. The first place is for storing information specific to each user of the system. That is in

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WhiskerControl\WhiskerServer

This is used for window size/position, default settings for client communication/event logging and other options (e.g. allowing nonlocal clients to control devices), the server media path, the device definition filename, etc.

The other place is for storing information that applies to all users of a computer, because it relates to the hardware (digital I/O boards, display devices, audio devices, fake I/O lines, etc.). Such configuration information is kept in

\HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\WhiskerControl\WhiskerServer
