      There is no way to tell if a registry key may be used in the future or not. Don't go deleting registry keys you think might no be in use, you'll only screw things up. If you want to clean up your registry, go get a tool like CCleaner. (I once read some good advice regarding the registry. It went something like this. "If you have to be told how to use the registry, you shouldn't be using it." :-D )

        Delete them, if windows or a program breaks, they were not unused. Sorry, that really is the best advice possible.

        Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you. If you're still stuck, ask me for more information.
