What is HKLM\Software\Classes\HHCtrl.SystemSort.666 for???

[Hammer92]

Anyone have any idea why this is present in the registry??? Seems kinda odd to me!!
Hkey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Classes\HHCtrl.SystemSort.666

Any thoughts?

the HHCTRL.dll is the Microsoft HTML Help Control
hhctrl.ocx is a Microsoft ActiveX which supports all functions of the user help interface.

Systemsort.666 will be a part of its code

OK... so why the.666?

dunno to be honest. You will heave to look in some help file about the dll or take a look inside the dll. Looks like it is an object of some sort

Hammer92, you must smite thy machine for it carries the mark of the devil... 666!

Actually, that's like asking what that page of code means on a BSOD. I doubt 90% of the people at microsoft know what it means either.

I happened to be changing some security on a key close to this one and it just stood out. I actually said "What the .." Did a quick google and got nothing of use in english anyway). It just seemed odd. Could just be that someone at MS was having a bad day while writting some code.
