When I look into the registry, the letters are like symbols in some of the links. Is this the way some are?

Thank you;

You should see some of the keys written by Access 11.0 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 - here are a few examples :-

2 Values for hkey_classes_root\AcroExch.FDFDoc\shell\open\command :-
(S) "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
command (M) 34TL`i`Z5(9L%!!$,CC!ReaderProgramFiles>^'jAlp!?y8'=I^'e[],s "%1"

2 Values for hkey_classes_root\Access.MDEFile.11\shell\open\command :-
(S) "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" /NOSTARTUP "%1"
command (M) (f'^Vn-}f(ZXfeAR6.jiACCESSFiles>oR2'wFjgZA{MZbEq}_6_ /NOSTARTUP "%1"

As the author of MJ Registry Watcher ( http://www.jacobsm.com/index.htm#sft ) I have come across some exotic registry keys, and these characters come as no surprise to me. Leave them alone - the programmers know what they are doing (at least, that's the theory!).
