Solved C:\?Program Files Entries in Registry?

Steve C · Nov 15, 2014

Whilst trying to fix a program which was not loading correctly at start-up, I noticed I have many registry entries referreing to C:\?Program Files instead of C:\Program Files. Why is this and should I change the references to to C:\Program Files?

Would a registry cleaner such as CCleaner sort out the issue?

No.

I would not fiddle about in the Registry, leave it alone.

I have loads of such entries. There is no 'issue' at all.

Un-install and Re-install the Application.

I have 2075 in the registry of my Win 8.1.1 Pro X64 system. Definitely normal.

"?" is for "any Character"

Thanks - I'll leave it well alone then!
