This is a bit random. I'm looking at a Windows 2008 R2 server registry.
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services
The key 'services' has a lower case 's'. That seems strange when compared to other operating systems.
If you have a 2K8 R2 and a few minutes can you advise if your services key begins with lower case 's' or upper case 'S'. Multiple answers are welcome. Cheers!
