That is a registry key and to view it, go to the Start menu, Run and type:
regedit and click OK. This opens the registry editor and navigating in
it is similar to navigating in Windows Explorer. You click the + sign in
front of the registry key (folder icon) to display another branch. Since
you are not familiar with the editor, only make changes or deletions when
you have specific directions. To be safe, if you delete anything, click on
File and select Export. This will create a .reg file that can be used to
restore the deleted data should a problem arise.

Any thoughts ?
