Deleted XP Registry "Run" Folder

Well, I did something stupid today. I do work writing software installers from time to time using Nullsoft's NSIS, and I used the wrong command. To make a long story short, I deleted the "run" folder out of "HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\". I don't have system restore running(took up too much space, so I disabled it until I could get a bigger boot HD), so I need to put they keys back in manually. If one of you guys running XP Pro could be so kind, could you list off all the keys in the run section. I'm looking for all the default keys Windows installs here, so that I can safely reboot(I can fix any programs that went in the folder later), and if you have an Nvida video card, any Nvidia keys too(I'm pretty sure there was one in there). So, if any of you guys could provide that ASAP, I would be ever so thankful.🙂
 
Here's everything in my Run folder. Take/edit what you need.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"NvCplDaemon"="RUNDLL32.EXE NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon initialize"
"SystemTray"="SysTray.Exe"
"TBTray"="acoustic.exe"
"Launcher"="launcher.exe"

"NAV Agent"="C:\\UTILIT~1\\NORTON~1\\navapw32.exe"

"FastUser"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\fast.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents]

Yep. They're all strings. Obviously you won't need all of them, but I pasted them all there for you anyway.
