HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ Perflib\009 under the counters string.



When SQL Server for Windows NT is installed, the counters string is appended to include the objects and counters associated with SQL Server for Windows NT. The last entry in the counters string before installing SQL Server for Windows NT is:
