Strange Event Viewer Entry

[System Administrator]

Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP2

Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7000
Event Description: The kirjtkkd72c8-36fa service failed to start due
to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.

Does anyone know what the "kirjtkkd72c8-36fa" service is? It is not
listed in Services Manager nor can I find any file that comes close to
that name on the HDD. Thanks.

Search the registry for kirjtkkd72c8-36fa, if this error is hapenning
when the computer boots you will probably find it in the Services branch
of the Control Sets.

Duh! I had completely overlooked searching the registry! Too many
hours the past couple of days. I did the search, found several
entries, and deleted same. No more Event Viewer errors from that
culprit. Thanks, John.
