    I hope I'm in the right place. Please excuse if I'm not.
    I just installed REGPROT and everytime I boot up, a registry change window comes up that is almost identical to the illustration of DRAT thats shown on the site with the exception that the NAME= and DATA= lines are blank. It also doesn't give an option to cancel. Since I have no option to cancel, should I assume that there is no original registry setting to restore?

    HKEY=HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    PATH=vbsfile\shell\open
    ommand
    NAME=
    DATA=

    Would it be safe to delete this entry manually so it doesn't show up at each boot? It keeps coming back after deleting with REGPROT. Also a scan with TDS shows nothing suspicous. Thanks

    Note from me:

    I have moved this thread from Privacy Software to this forum-section.
    I thought that by doing so, the DCS-team could a bit more easier "catch" it.

    Thanks FanJ. It's hard to know where to post these sometimes.

    If you delete that key, VBS files won't be able to execute at all until reassociated - doesn't look like they can execute now as it is though.. I wouldn't delete the whole .VBS key though, just the "command" one

    vbsfile\shell\open\command < that one

    Maybe check the registry and see what the value of that key is and let us know ?

    Hey Steve,

    I have to admit that I too was asking myself what the best place would be ;)

    Its doing nothing then, so you might as well delete the command key. To restore VBS functionality just right click one, choose open WITH (have to hold shift and right click on Win9x) and choose other program, WSCRIPT.EXE

    Which just creates the normal wscript.exe "%1" :)
