Mystery Registry Key After SP2 Installation
Spotted this mysterious key in the registry recently. Just wondering if any
other SP2 installers have discovered a similar key or it owes its origins to something else. Thanks. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\S\P\2846389128 Jon |

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\S\P\2846389128 I do not have this key here. Export it via File Export and then delete it to see if it is really necessary. If so, you can restore it with the exported file later. -- (tm) |

Mystery Registry Key After SP2 Installation
Ok.. thanks guys. It was the S P that made me think it might have been
related to the Service Pack. Clearly not. Nothing via Google that I could find about it. [The S and P were specific one-letter key names ie HKEY_CURRENT_USER S P 2846389128 It had these value keys "Prompt"=dword:00000000 "MsgPrivacy"=dword:00000001] Have exported / deleted it and will see what happens, if anything.

Mystery Registry Key After SP2 Installation
From the names of the 2 value keys
"Prompt"=dword:00000000 "MsgPrivacy"=dword:00000001 it's probably more likely to be related to a program like Windows Messenger, than to SP2 eg an add-in I've installed. Not a major problem anyhow, was just curious. Jon "Peter" 0spam0 AT rogers DOT com wrote in message ... Run Adaware SE and/ord virus protection???? -- Peter. Toronto, Canada. Windows XP Home SP2.
