Hello Panda community,

Is it safe to remove this registry key found by Panda Online Scanner?

Key: HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\ADVANCED

Thank you for help.

Best regards,

Instead of deleting this valid registry key, set its value to zero so that file extensions are not hidden.

Hello, the log tells me that it is a Win 7 Pro SP1, it is not a Win XP

Try to right click on the installer and select run as administrator.
