Cant find registry entry that display name in context menu

I had installed acronis (to backup a virtual machine) and monitored it with Regshot.
There is a problem:

The installation created an entry in:

********
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\{C539A15A-3AF9-4c92-B771-50CB78F5C751}]

Name: (Deafult)
Type: REG_SZ
Data: empty
********

this entry adds "Include in Nonstop Backup" to the context menu of \*\ (all files)

I was looking for that string in the Regshot log and couldn't find it because data is empty.
I don't understand how it adds that string if its empty...?

odd...

You can't easily deal with such things yet. It's to do with type libraries, an area which Gringoloco and I are investigating for the PortableApps.com Launcher and hope to have a solution for 2.2. At the moment, give up on that key. You can deal with the registry part of it, but that won't register it, and if it does get noticed by Explorer then you won't be able to deregister it.

Can you explain why it happens?

?

I don't understand. What's missing from my explanation? It's just the way that it's designed.
