Unhappy Looking for HKEY listing

Is there any place that I can find out what HKEY's should be on my computer. Also will need to know how to get the missing ones there.

Hello Louis, welcome to PCHF .

The 5 HKEY listings I have seen are HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS, and HKEY_CONFIG.

There is no place to get missing HKEYs short of a new Windows XP install, but if you are missing one, your computer wouldn't be running.

Welcome to the PCHF Louis, spaceman is correct.

Are you getting any particular error, or just a curious question?

I run a register scanner. Before it listed several HKEYs as unknown threats. Now they are missing from the scan. I did not delete them. Wanted to know more about the HKEYs so that I could possible understand what happened.

That sounds strange. What registry scanner are you using?
