Hi,

After I run a scan using my registry cleaner, it detects several entries
that say "lowdatetime" and "highdatetime". Can anyone tell me what this is
all about. I try to delete them but they just reapear the next time I
perform a scan. What's causing this?


Thanks,
Alan

Here's some research I gathered when I had the same question.

MOF = Managed Object Format

using the Managed Object Format (MOF) language.]]

The following explained it for me.
With a time stamp, obviously this is going to change.

[[HighDateTime
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key
High half of the date-time stamp.]]

[[LowDateTime
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key
Low half of the date-time stamp.]]

Thanks Wes for your detailed response. So, I guess this is normal and is
part of XP. I guess I'll set my reg cleaner to overlook this object.

Thanks again,
Alan
