An ISV developed their application to disable / enable cameras on many mobile computers, such as m3 and pidion. Their application changes the following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\HardWare
Value= CameraEnabled. Data =0 or 1
But neither ES400's camera nor FR68's is changed by modifying that registry key. Is that registry key a Microsoft standard one? Do we have any workaround? Thank you! Junhua

Hi Junhua, I tried with the registry you mentioned and i see it disabled the Camera when CameraEnabled=0 and enabled when CameraEnabled=1 on the ES400(BSP 19) device i have with me. Also the Camera Capture application was MC Pictures and Videos. But when i tried on the device which comes with default CameraCapture Application from Arcsoft, the modifications to this reg key doesnt not affect. So if you want to use the MC pictures and Videos then below modifications are required in the registry -
1:Delete the registry given below.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM]
"OEMCAMERACAPTUREDLL"
2:Set the registry given below.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM]
"CameraApp"="\windows\pimg.exe" Hope this helps. Regards, Praveen N
Junhua, You can also use XML provisioning to enable/disable the camera using the attached CAB files. Best Regards, Ian Hatton MSI EMEA
