Ha! That is the ONLY place I have seen this recomendation. Nice to know I
I'm not the only one that reads this guide!

I can't find it anywhere else. Not at MS sites, not anywhere. I think it is
an invalid key.

Can anyone provide a source, beside the US Government?

This key is to control who can access the registry from the network.

I read "Secure Windows NT installation and Configuration Guide" from
the
Department of Navy (Version 1.3), it recommends to set the Permissions
of
this key to only allow Administrator to have Full Control over this key.

Hope this can help you !
