can't fix registry entry

[copakeman]

I am running win 7, ie11, both at the current latest levels. I have not installed any new programs in many months.  

 

registry cleaner detect a hit under File Types

 

expanding it shows:

 

,dds      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/vnd.ms-dds\Extention

 

Start Clean does not fix it. i've searched and cannot find what is really wrong with that entry so I could edit it. I cannot detect any problems with my system, but that doesn't mean nothing is wrong. I first detected this 4 days ago.

 

question is how can I repair this entry ? I know how to use regedit.

 

Thank you for any replies.

Hi copakeman!

I'm using Windows 8.1 x64 (updated from windows 8) and MSIE 11 (it was 10).

Maybe did It appear after you have upgraded to MSIE 11?

I'm using regularly WRC 7.89.520 (and previous versions) in deep scan mode and I have got that entry still intact.

More informations about vnd.ms-dds: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn424129(v=vs.85).aspx

 

If you are anyway interested in cleaning that entry, check if it is selected (checkbox ticked!!!):

 

You may be interested to know that I have got these entries inside the registry of windows 8.1 x64:
