Kelsenellenelvian Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hmmm I tracked the reg entry and got this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SMDEn]Thats it, no sub-keys, dwords or anything!Seems to me you're pretty safe without it. If you fell you want it back just make a reg file from what I posted and re-enter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlos.sammy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 there are a few entries in my registry. I'm on xp sp3 proSMDEn.regThank you Geej for the registry enries. Those were the exact key and values that I accidently deleted. My question still is what are they for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geej Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 My question still is what are they for?I took a peek for this file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\xpsp1res.dll and view in Hex editor, so I think it is something to do with setting/setup relating to wireless network configuration & services. (see screenshot 1)When view in Restorator 2007, clicking the "string" resource shown the message number as in the registry entries. So basically I think it is just some shortcut that Windows created during setup. But I'm no expert. Hope this input sheds some light on what it is all about. Cheers!
