I believe "enigma" is a font.

[Stringent]

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.

[BigBrother]

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, 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
