Well, I see value data such as Windows Boot Manager, \system32\winresume.exe, \boot\memtest.exe, etc., among all the alphanumeric stuff, in that key. The XP boot.ini configuration file has been replaced with the Boot Configuration Data file in %SystemDrive%\Boot\BCD. This file is a registry hive (mounted under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\BCD00000000 on Windows Vista). Its contents can be viewed in a more readable form using bcdedit.exe in Command Prompt, and the more so with programs like VistaBootPRO or EasyBCD. The data is useful in that it's used to boot your computer...

I'll keep it! Thanks, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a spyware thing. . |
