Hilmar,

After seeing your post, I scanned 2 machines for that string in the registry unbder Win98. No such thing in either. Has to be related to some installed software...

>Yes, it certainly looks like a human-readable form of a GUID. Since I saw this only on Windows 98 - and on both machines I use - I thought it might be Windows 98 itself that does this.
