    Check /maybe/ also HKLM keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
    and
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
    for the same values. Check registry key
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
    for dword value "PersistBrowsers" - it should be set to 0.

    I don't know - AFAIK this is not a "standard key".

    Make a backup of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
    and delete that value.
