windows registry
Hi-
Is there a site where I can check "key" descriptions for the windows registry in Windows XP? I am wondering *** is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cerberus.CerberusCDPlayer and if it is safe to delete. Thank you. |

If you google CerberusCDPlayer you'll probably get the impression it's belongs to AOL...
Are you using AOL? And or did you install the player?

I thought AOL was gone from my system but apparently the blood sucker likes to stick around! This PC was from a previous user which did use AOL. I am going to delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cerberus.CerberusCDPlayer and see what happens! : ) thank god for system restore.

It would be a good idea to back up the registry first,also.

Why do you think you need to delete that key?

Personally, I'd just run Ccleaner instead. If it's a dead link to a program that's not installed anymore, Ccleaner will find that and take care of the registry problem for you. No wondering if it's okay to delete or not that way.
