   From: "Dariusz Piatkowski"    
      
   In my continuing effort to clean up the INI files (OS2 & OS2SYS) I've started   
   to   
   look at the information visible in the OS2 Registry Editor.   
      
   I see the following listed:   
      
   1) HINI_SYSTEM_PROFILE   
   2) HINI_USER_PROFILE   
   3) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT   
   4) HKEY_CURRENT_USER   
   5) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE   
   6) HKEY_USERS   
      
   OK, so #1 & #2 seem to make sense, although I have no idea what the following    
   keys represent in HINI_SYSTEM_PROFILE though (but it's just these 3):    
   W0WNEW => PORKIE4="Check"   
   W8WNEW => GOODPORK="Check"   
   WOWNEW => SUP4="Check"   
      
   Strange, but I'll live with it, I suppose.   
      
   #3 still seems OK, as it appears to be basically a mapping of all object    
   associations & class definitions.   
      
   #4 makes sense, USER specific settings, some Innotek references to the FT2LIB,    
   ODIN stuff, etc.   
      
   Now, here is where the strange stuff (to me anyways) starts.   
      
   #5 shows a bunch of entries which do not appear to be ENGLISH. All the final   
   key   
   values are usually: 'universe.smi', 'sheet.smi', 'formatng.smi', 'chart.smi',    
   'map.smi', 'draw.smi', etc...what the heck are these? Where do they come from?   
      
   Finally comes #6, where I see a bunch of Innotek stuff again (seems like a    
   duplicate?).   
      
   So...the real question is: can I safely delete these? Obviously the   
   applications   
   I have installed here have a huge bearing on this...so I'm not asking for a    
   simple YES/NO. What I am curious is whether some of you have seen these,   
   and/or    
   whether anyone can explain from their experience what created these?   
      
   Thanks!
