It has an OLE "OPEN" action associated with it through the registry, like a .DOC file or .DBF file, or for that matter, a script file of some sort supported by the WSH or a similar tool. To delete as well as create, you need to create an .INF file; see the MSDN Library for documentation on the syntax and structure of a .INF file.

Thanks for the heads up on deleting a key. I just exported that key (from REGEDIT), changed it's value to "N" and then was able to "run" the exported reg file just fine. This only seemed to happen on my W98 box, my W95 and W2K boxes didn't need the fix.
