Hi All
My Q is this:
If i delete a key from the registry, let's say this one:
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{DB34B8DB-B9AA-4973-9640-2300F41D8318}"

Does the equivalent key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{DB34B8DB-B9AA-4973-9640-2300F41D8318}"

will be deleted automaticly or not?
(Or the opposite)

I realy appreciate your answers

Yes, HKey_Classes_Root is merely a pointer to the same area in HKey_Local_Machine. In other words, the data displayed via either route is actually the exact same data.
 
Thank you very much!!!
