The Data entries are enclosed in  "xyz"
but some are in ""xyz""  double.
Is it an error or ...?
Thanks

You need to give far more detail such as the keys involved and the
application using these keys together with how this apparent error is
impacting on your use of your PC.

Here are some sample entries.
The double "" xyz"" are around
the entries relating to a Lexmark printer.
The problem is that (not always) it is unable to
load certain printer files and asks to restart
the computer.
I thought that something may have gone wrong with
the registry entries.

AAH,

What you are seeing is not what is stored in the registry, the outermost
pair for each value and its associated data are being placed there by
Regedit when exporting the key and is quite normal.  This can be readily
checked by opening Regedit and looking at the actual keys and data.
Similarly back slashes in file paths are duplicated when exported.

The second set of quotes, such as in the data for the value EzPrint are
because of the use of Long File names with embedded spaces.
i.e "C:\\Program Files\\Lexmark 3400 Series\\ezprint.exe\"  I am however a
little curious about the leading and trailing backslashes in that
particular data string as I am of those in the data string associated with
the value lxcymon.exe.  You may wish to see the effect of removing these.

That is changing the data for lxcymon.exe from
\"C:\Program Files\Lexmark 3400 Series\lxcymon.exe\"
to
"C:\Program Files\Lexmark 3400 Series\lxcymon.exe"
and similarly for the data for the value EzPrint
