Thx for help.
I wasn't worried that they would be harmful though. Nothing harmful ever
gets in on my comp (knock on wood), never has during my 15 years on the
internet.
I've checked the install logs of all my latest apps I've installed and none
of them installed these values.
Thing is I want to know what everything does and to what program or process
it belongs to. Just a control freak :)

I have never before had this in my RUN key. I won't be satisfied until I
know to what it belongs ;)
