In January 2003 i dicovered somthing in side the registry of Windows Xp Called Mr. Enigma

We dont know what it does or how it got there but its sure to say that M$ have placed it there for a reason our mission now Gentlemen is to find out what

Your Can Find Mr. Enigma in side your Registry at

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Mr. Enigma]

i have had reports that he has been found inside Windows 95 and 98

but i am not sure about Longhorn if someone would be so nice as to find out for me

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE IT AS IF DONE IT WILL CORRUPT YOU WINDOWS INSTALLATION this was found out the hard way

read up why i am so suspicious about it at

www.mrenigma.mdanetworks.net

DO YOU KNOW WHO MR. ENIGMA IS????

I believe "enigma" is a font.

If you go to my website, I am known over there as Enigma :P

Sounds as if a strange and powerful force is at play ... :)

And it does NOT appear in the win2k registry

I can CONFIRM its existance on Windows XP and Windows XP SP1, (corporate versions from an AIO CD). I can also confirm the key does not exist in Windows 2003 server. It certainly looks suspicious. Can anoyne with a different WinXP version confirm this (Home/Pro retail, etc)?

I have not tried removing it and take your word for it that it causes problems. The key seems to be empty, and permissions on it are the same as other keys in that tree. Can you remember exactly what happened when you removed it?

I can confirm that it does exist in xp pro upgrade retail.

when we Removed it From Windows XP all seemed normal and running good nothing at all changed until we rebooted and then nothing worked well to be exact we didnt even make to the windows xp Professional boot screen

also the Versions of Xp we tested it on have been Home OEM home Upgrade Home Retail Pro Oem Pro Upgrade Pro Full Version Retail

and i am yet to test it in Longhorn and i have been told it was found in 95 and 98 but not confirmed


Cheers
BB

BB, I lost your MSN addy. PM me on it when you are online.

Certainly seems interesting. I am doing a clean install on a virtual machine, with undo drives enabled, so I can hopefully find out exactly what is going on.

on the Win98SE machine that's sitting next to me, the key isn't there, it's not on the 2K Pro machine I'm on atm either.

I'll make a ghost image of my comp. when I get home then delete it too and see if I can figure out what it does, this should be interesting...

Ahhhhh, the tech guru's have a new problem to worry at :P
/me sits back and waits for the fun to begin :D

Update: BlackComb just tried to replicate it and couldnt. So it could have been a one off thing, and not much of interest.

My virtual PC is about 90% installed, so I might aswell try it just in case, although I doubt we are onto anything significant now.

just tried it, deleted the reg key, rebooted, and nothing happened

lmfao this is kinda interesting....its on my xp pro oem computer but it is not on my 98 first edition comp.

@trminatr yeah "enigma" is a font, but i don't think that has anything to do with mr. enigma but maybe.

Well guys i thankyou for your Time and effort i am sorry that it turned out the way it did i am also damn sure of what happend in january this year when we deleted the key reg but never mind like Zone-MR said it may very well be a one off thing as i also hav e just Deleted the Reg Key and rebooted and nothing happend so maybe Mr. Emigma is somthing we all no longer need hense the reason its not in any further versions of Windows.

Once again I am sorry that i have failed you but at least we all have a little glimer in our eye that maybe M$ finaly slipped up and left some evidence...

This Still does not Explain the Phone calls i made and the none reply to my emails... But then M$ are so stuck up that they probably just thought that i was some wanker trying to waste there time LMAO... :-)

Well Guys i think we Can now Close the Book of Mr. Enigma


Cheers
BB
