While in the Registry Editor, oh, lets say searching through hkey local machine or current user/software/microsoft/windows/run, and some of the values (ie C:\Program Files\ or D:\Program Files, or w/e), what does putting that value in quotation marks mean?

Well, the ones in quotes are usually followed by a switch, like this:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe" /startup

Where as other, that do not have a swtich, do not use quotes:

C:\Program Files\Symantec\Norton Ghost\Agent\GhostTray.exe

In either case it should be viewed as a literal command, just as if you opened up a command prompt & typed it w/out the quotes.

Make sense?

OK, so if you see any commend in that registry area that you do not recognize, it's probably teh B@d.

But you knew that....
