I searched Google groups and apparently, this issue was mentioned
earlier this year, but it was in connection with Win98 and V1.35 of
Regseeker. It didn't seem that any conclusion was reached at the

I just tried RegScrubXP v3.25 with no negative effects. It found 54
junk keys missed by RegSeeker. I fixed (removed) them all.

I plan to use both of them from here on out.
