Those registry entries were not created by origin. They were created with rot13 by windows explorer. That screenshot shows origin specifically checking whether the entries exist. So origin has a list of files that it checks if the user has.


Do we know that it isn't enumerating the whole hive? that seems more likely to me.


I guess I don't really know. But the way it says either "SUCCESS" or "NAME NO..." makes it look like it either found the registry entry or it failed to find the registry entry. The second case would probably only happen if it was looking for specific keys.
