TSGL: Registry redundancy

[Ray]

Okay, RUSS -- my control set002 is curiously missing.  Are you hiding it somewhere??? If so, please return it, immediately!  I may be in serious need of it someday....soon. ;--)

have made any sense to anyone but my very close friends). 

Yes, like you, I have all three of these Control Sets, and, like you, they
appear (after a very quick, not exhaustive look) to be identical. 

Sorry, I haven't anything else to say, but I still haven't found myself. I
got up and looked in my chair, but I wasn't there. This is getting curiouser
and curiouser.

I am trying to find myself. If you see me before I do, please ask me to wait
until I return.

XPPro SP2.

In Regedit, under HKEY/Local Machine/System, I have 3 Control sets, named 
Current Control Set, Control Set001, and Control Set002.

Expanding these, they appear at first sight to be identical, though I 
haven't gone thru all of them closely.

Are all 3 sets needed?  What happens if I delete Sets001 and 002?  Would I, 
like Russ, disappear, never to find myself again?

Maybe Sets 1 and 2 are backups which XP will initiate should the primary 
one become corrupt or disabled?

Does anyone else have these, or am I unique?
