Re: oracle keys in NT registry

Oracle document the public registry entries in the Getting Started Guide of Windows NT.

You should ignore the ORACLE_HOMES entries unless you are using 8.0.4 where multiple Oracle Homes are supported (then the Getting Started Guide describes what this entry does). VOB manager entries are for the Enterprise Manager repository manager, the reason the often use / rather than \ are because the tcl scripts that EM uses are generic.
