Incorrect registry entry created by REG ADD "path\nodeName"

Question

I need to create a new node value which I will add data entries to. On the surface it all works, but using windiff it looks like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\HTTP\Parameters\SslBindingInfo\0.0.0.0:448]
@=""
"SslCertHash"=hex:fd,5b,72,a5,aa,12,0f,2b,73,95,c4,10,63,49,bd,7d,ca,ce,99,e4

When it should look like this (no @ thing):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\HTTP\Parameters\SslBindingInfo\0.0.0.0:448]
"SslCertHash"=hex:fd,5b,72,a5,aa,12,0f,2b,73,95,c4,10,63,49,bd,7d,ca,ce,99,e4

Note: The above result is after the data entries have been added which is why the SslCertHash stuff is there. I am using this exact command via a C# process:

cmd.exe /c REG ADD "path\nodeName"

Answer 1

The node with the name @ is the default node. It should be no problem that it is there alongside your own node "SslCertHash".
