Default Processes querying HKU "load" locations



Or possibly even win3.x apps. Probably not used any more but if you're
looking there don't forget win.ini, system.ini are also parsed.

Yes, perfectly normal. App installations that write there are probably win9x
applications.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Could you elaborate at all? It's normal for Win9x apps
to write to the load value, but these seem to be common (more or less)
Windows processes, not necessarily Win9x as far as I can tell (llsmgr.exe,
userinit.exe, etc.), that are reading that location. Just trying to
understand better. Thanks again.

Windows 2000 would still read them for backward compatibility.
