SYMPTOMS
If you have a value entered in the registry that contains a space, Windows NT will not recognize characters past the space.



WORKAROUND
Remove the space from the value entered. If the value requires that a space be used, replace the space with an underscore.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
