    For those that may be interested, here's a thread on creating other Custom System Variables (especially if permissions to HKLM Hive is of concern).

    Probably because there is no link there.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    There was an attempt at a link. What am I missing?

    No clue what happened there; very strange.

    In any event, give these a try:

    Can confirm. Both Vanilla 2014/2015 still have this unfound registry key problem.

    Wow! Could someone please just inform an ADesk employee? I mean the fix is literally a few seconds worth of "work". It would take less time than to read this post!

    Actually I think ADesk has the same trouble as MS ... the management systems cause these things to procrastinate for years or decades. Similar to this incredibly stupid bug left in Windows for several years now: http://blog.garrytan.com/how-a-bug-i...d-time-per-day

    Here we are in 2021 with AutoCAD 2022 and the problem is still around with even more busted bits.

    Load acad.exe into Sysinternals' ProcMon.exe to see what's going on.

    Here's the reg file I made that seems to have fixed it in 2022...

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101:409\Variables\XREFSTATE]
    "PrimaryType"=dword:0000138b
    "SecondaryType"=dword:00000000
    "StorageType"=dword:00000003
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101:409\Variables\*XREFSTATE]
    "PrimaryType"=dword:0000138b
    "SecondaryType"=dword:00000000
    "StorageType"=dword:00000003
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101:409\Variables\CONTENTTYPEORDER]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101:409\Variables\INPUTSEARCHOPTIONFLAGS]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101:409\Variables\SHOWNEWSTATE]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101\Variables\XREFSTATE]
    "PrimaryType"=dword:0000138b
    "SecondaryType"=dword:00000000
    "StorageType"=dword:00000003
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101\Variables\*XREFSTATE]
    "PrimaryType"=dword:0000138b
    "SecondaryType"=dword:00000000
    "StorageType"=dword:00000003
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101\Variables\XREFSTATE\StorageType]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101\Variables\CONTENTTYPEORDER]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.1\ACAD-5101\Variables\INPUTSEARCHOPTIONFLAGS]
