The two entries are merely examples on how to use registry values in an INF
file - there is no requirement or recommendation around those values in
particular. As for 0x00010001 - that is a bit mask that defines the data
type of the registry value - see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms933191.aspx. In this case, it
defines the values as REG_DWORDs.
