Internet searches have not turned up anything. These are new and I am
naturally curious as to where they came from. Any help will be appreciated:
1. FES
2. Secure
3. ULC
Thanks

There are no such hives by those names. There are only 2 real hives in
the registry: HKEY_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. All the others are
pseudo-hives that are a composite of those two. The strings you
mentioned could be the value of a data item, the name of a data item, or
the name of a registry key but you gave no reasonable information to
identify them.
 
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Under HKLM | Software I find, in the left
pane, folders identified as FES, NoTreat, and Secure.
Under HKCU I find one identified as ULC, and under Software: JEDI-VCL and
SCC.
I am curious about what programs placed these folders there. They seem to be
empty--nothing in the right pane.

Right-click on a registry key and copy. Then paste it here. That will
show the path in the hive to that registry key. Otherwise, all we can
do is guess from your description. From that, my guess is that you have
the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FES
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Secure
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ULC
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FES
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Secure
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ULC

Doing a Google search:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FES
might be associated with http://www.luckcolorlab.com/downloads/index.php

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Secure
appears associated with secured remote connections, used by Terminal
Services and Citrix, and the C2Config used to tighten security on
NT-based hosts.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ULC
ULC: Univeral Life Bookstore, Universal Life Church. Maybe you
installed an ebook viewer from them.
 
Thanks for your help. I don't know anything about Color Lab or the Universal
Life Church. I suppose it's best to just leave them alone. There are no
"paths" in the right pane.
 
No doubt you're right. "If it ain't broke..." I'm naturally curious as to
where these mysterious entries come from.
Ca A/V, Windows Defender, Ad-Aware, and SpyBot all come up clean.
 
Since you did not respond with their contents I will assume that the
keys are empty. If so, just delete them.
