Could not open key in registry, error = 5 Unable to determine build of browser master: 5

I have a Home Network with 2 Desktop PCs using a ADSL Router and ADSL
connection. No problem connecting to the Internet and sharing of
folders/files. My network places on both shown all the shared
documents/Files/folders.
However the browstat status on Computer B has a message " Could not
openkey in registry error=5 Unable to determine build browser master:
5......"
ipconfig & browstat status are shown below for both computers.
Qustions:
1. Why the error msg in Computer B? Should I be concerned?
2. What should I do to correct the problem?
