Note
The element-name entry is a variable representing the entries under the HKCU\Control Panel\Colors subkey. It does not actually appear in the registry. This variable entry displays information that is common to the entries in the Colors subkey.
The entries in the Colors subkey contain values that determine the color of each element of the Windows 2000 desktop. The values are shown as a series of three numbers, which refer to the RGB (red-green-blue) value of the color.
