For some reason this key isn't removed after * setting the proper resolution and even not when * doing a driver reinstall. * Removing it doesn't seem to do any harm. The key is inserted by windows on * first reboot after installing the VBox video driver using the VirtualBox * utility. It's not inserted when using the Display applet for installation. * There seems to be a subtle problem with the VirtualBox util. */ /* * Copyright (C) 2006-2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. * * This file is part of VirtualBox base platform packages, as * available from https://www.virtualbox.org. * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * as published by the Free Software Foundation, in version 3 of the * License. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but * WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
