Occasionally, I'll run thru my reg to clean it up a bit. However, lately, I've been seeing many entries that I don't recognize. The data field appears to be a jumble of ASCII characters. This might just be an XP encryption thing, but I don't recall seeing this type of data string in NT or 2000.

Example:MyComputer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{0c19b8f4-c6f9-b18e-60ba1399c8c0}\InprocServer32

the Type is: Reg_Multi_sz

the data is: '4Z$|Bq~f(yqAefXznFpfeat.online>g.68Te8!g($)BefZxnFp

The above is verbatim and it is all one continuous data string.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

A couple of references for you reading enjoyment (or lack thereof). . .

From the horse's mouth:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/com/htm/reg_5n8y.asp

Perhaps more readable, from HP:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/731FINAL/6539/6539pro_008.html

Sorry, but both links take me to dead ends. "Page Cannot Be Found"

Sorry, extraneous spaces in the URL's. Try these:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/com/htm/reg_5n8y.asp

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/731FINAL/6539/6539pro_008.html

Well, it did it again. When you copy/paste into your browser, there's a space in "library" in the MSDN link, and one before "html" in the HP link. Take them out, and you'll get there. . . .
