Why would regedit.exe not have a CompanyName-- Microsoft
OriginalFilename or a FileDescription? Could that mean that the file has
been maliciously altered?

The following is from a Silent runners log.
http://www.silentrunners.org/
Verifying REGEDIT.EXE integrity:
- Regedit.exe found in C:\WINDOWS
- .reg open command is normal (regedit.exe %1)
- Regedit.exe has no CompanyName property! It is
either missing or named something else.
- Regedit.exe has no OriginalFilename property! It is
either missing or named something else.
- Regedit.exe has no FileDescription property! It is
either missing or named something else.
Registry check failed!

Thank you for any information.
 
Have you looked at the Properties of Regedit.exe to see if Silent
Runners is correct?
Rightclick C:\Windows\Regedit.exe and select Properties and see if all
items have values against them.

I wish I could. I am volunteering trying to help person with Spanish
version of Windows. Wish someone here could tell me what Spanish versison
of Windows would show for these. Thanks though for your help.
 
Find out what the person has in each item and someone may be able to
verify it. You indicate that Silent Runners says nothing is there in
several items. It would be an easy check to see if the items are empty
or not.
