Unhappy Solved: What are these?
Hi everyone:

I found these in my registry and don't know if they are legitimate or sinister. Can anyone tell me? TIA

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/ShellCompatibility/Applications/...

/...fusion.exe
/...msdev.exe
/...photoed.exe
/...pwrplay.exe
/...recycle.exe
/...vcafe.exe

It's most likely legitimate since I also have those registries. My computer is running fine.

Well, I don't know about being ambitious but as long as you're careful and back up the registry you can get rid of unwanted files. According to some other opinions the files I mentioned are apparently legitimate so I'll just leave them alone. So I can consider this issue resolved. Thanks for the input everyone.
