   Mark Hobley to All   
   Hexadecimal Registry Keys & Removing Unw   
   21 Feb 04 11:01:58   
   
   From: markhobley@hotpop.deletethisbit.com   
      
   I am going to be compiling a list of registry keys for Windows '95 and   
   other versions of Windows.   
      
   I am looking for information on any known entries to the registry and   
   the purpose that the entries serve.   
      
   If anyone knows the purpose of any of the obscure registry entries.   
      
   Please advise.   
      
   I also do not require Internet Explorer, MSN, Exchange or Microsoft   
   Outlook, or any other unneeded Windows components.   
      
   If anybody knows of any keys that relate to those, they can listed   
   also.   
      
   There is no need to post obvious entries like:   
      
   hkey_local_,machine/software/microsoft/internet explorer/   
      
   since its obvious that the entry relates to internet explorer   
      
   but things like   
      
   hkey_classes_root/clsid/{0002DF01-0000-0000-C0000-000000000046}   
      
   are very useful in understanding.   
      
   I haven't a clue what purpose the above serves, and whether or not I   
   can safely delete this key.   
      
   Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes.
