Nothing has created an entry for the keys so you may not need them. If you
think that you do need them, create them. If you don't need to place
anything in those keys, don't worry about it.

Thank you Wesley, if something needs to be runservices will it automatically
create it, or do I have to create them, if so how do I do that?
Thank you for your time.

Pat,

If a program needs the key(s), it/they will get created.

Navigate to >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Right click the CurrentVersion folder in the left hand pane | New | Key |
Name it RunServices

Navigate to >>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Right click the CurrentVersion folder in the left hand pane | New | Key |
Name it RunServices

I didn't have
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
so I created it to verify the steps.

After you name it/them you can hit F5 to Refresh to alphabetize them right
away. They do that anyway if you close regedit and reopen it.

RunServices is one of the places that scumware startups like to hide.
