I have identical registry entry files. Why? Shall I delete them?

Do you have duplicated registry keys, values or data? What exactly are they?
Why would you want to delete them?

Where exactly are these duplicate registry files located?

NO...there is a reason for them. Don't ask why. Just bloody well
leave them alone. If you delete them, then you will end up with
an unbootable friggin mess.

if you feel a need to
reconcile the registry
keys to the file system

then you might try a
freeware called eusing.

btw: make a system
restore point before
you do the above.
