Solved DEP exceptions- where are they held?

[dal987]

Hi, recently 'something' deleted my DEP exceptions. I've not seen that happen for a long time. Then it happened again. I even suspected a ccleaner upgrade (hmm, surely not!).

Anyway, given that, do you know where they are held? Or how to back them up?

I tried regshot, before and after adding one, but it found nothing. (Compares registry snapshots).

Searched for DEP exceptions/back up/ backup/ location etc etc...

Thanks!

Hi, I can finally answer my own question:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers


appears to be where the list is recorded.

Using Process Monitor with careful filtering, after several attempts, a list of exactly the exe's recorded as exceptions appears here.
