    docteur_marc:

    As a matter of curiosity, what is the data type on the following registry entry?
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
      "Secondary Start Pages"

    Data types are normally one of the following:
    • REG_BINARY
    • REG_DWORD
    • REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN
    • REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN
    • REG_EXPAND_SZ
    • REG_MULTI_SZ
    • REG_NONE
    • REG_SZ

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.

    I was able to replicate the problem. It appears that Spybot is looking for data type REG_SZ rather than the data type REG_MULTI_SZ used in the "Secondary Start Pages" entry.
