Shared DLLs
DLLs store functions that are used by installed
applications to perform certain tasks. They can be
shared by multiple applications to reduce memory
and disk space requirements.
These registry keys become invalid when the DLL
they point to is moved to another location or
completely removed (this usually happens when
you uninstall a program).
The invalid keys are assigned a medium priority,

By default, all the keys are marked for deletion. You can choose to delete
individual invalid keys from a selected category.
Note
You can recover the deleted registry keys at any time using Registry Recovery.
