Does the OWS installer store/fetch anything from the windows Registry? Does OWS use the Windows Registry at all?
I suspect not, but I wanted to ask to be sure. Thanks!

OWS installer does make some entries in the registry to register the exe, extension, protocol, OpenwithProgID etc.
Re: Dpes the OWS installer uses Windows Registry?
So is it fair to say that the registry entries are in support of OS integration, and not for storage of user preferences or other settings?
There is a deployment.properties in the user's home dir as well as a .appletTrustSettings file that contains user settings, AFAIK. Are there other config/settings sources?

OWS user preferences are not stored in registry.
<User Home>/.config/ icedtea-web/deployment.properties file stores the OWS properties specified using itw-settings Other security preferences are stored in .appletTrustSettings file.
<User Home>/.cache/ icedtea-web/ directory stores the cached jnlp apps and preferred jvms.
