Jim: You'll get better help with the question in one of the IIS groups.
Single users would not have those keys in the registry.

To check on it, try exporting the keys for safekeeping, then delete them and
reboot. See if the problem is fixed. If not a simple double click on the
exported reg file will restore the deleted keys.
