Since windows maintains ROT13 entries of every document that was ever on the
recent documents list going back (at least) five years, I decided to clean
things up. But windows maintains backslashed pathnames for the name that
follows the key. So if you forward slash the key hierarchy and double
backslash the Microshaft pathname, it should work. Right? I typed...
regtool check
'/user/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/UserAssist/{75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}/Count/HRZR_EHACVQY\:P\:\\Qbphzragf
naq Frggvatf\\Fgrcura Yvaqare\\Erprag\\QFP00055.WCT.yax'
and it sez:
Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified.
I also tried "get" and "remove", etc. I also tried every combinatorial of
fore and aft slashes. I also tried escaping and not escaping the :'s and
spaces. I tried combinatorials of the above. I've been careful to match
case. I also tried both a forward slash and a double backslash between the
key and the name. I always get the same error.
I ran the Cygwin updater just 5 days ago. I tried rebooting. I tried all the
usual suspects. Now I'm bothering all of you.
Apologies in advance if I've omitted something obvious.

BTW: Why does Microsoft encrypt my own information on my own machine and
retain it forever?
