Registry Locations

System-wide DEP Configuration:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

The value ExecuteOptions in this key indicates the system-wide DEP configuration.

The data in this value determines how DEP is applied (e.g., for all processes, for essential Windows programs and services only, etc.).

DEP Configuration for Individual Programs:

DEP exceptions for specific programs are not typically stored directly in the registry.

Instead, they are managed through the System Properties interface or command-line tools like bcdedit.

However, information about these settings might be reflected in system configuration files rather than in specific registry keys.
