Funky XP Desktop

[Scott Rossi]

Thanks.  Actually, I should have clarified that (at least in my case) the
registry key was present, but it had no value assigned to it (empty).  I
only discovered this because an installer I built was creating desktop
shortcuts in a weird location, and the problem turned out to be the empty
registry entry.  Just curious if other folks have found an empty registry
entry here as well.
