I take it the command 'regedit -s sys.reg' references this
file. I did a search on sys.reg for which Window Explorer
returned the file 'sys'. It looks like it is monkeying
with the Internet Explorer pages. To confirm, I should
delete this file as well as the command?

This is the contents of that file:
