Should keyboard.exe be in Win2K pro registry?

Hi all,
I've been super stressed by a multipally infected Win2K machine at a small business office. While cleaning off several infections I noticed that keyboard.exe is in

HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

under a key called ConfigurationsLoader which is set with keyboard.exe

I know keyboard.exe can be a malicious file in some instances but I dobn't know if it is also a valid file sometimes.  Is it normal for it to be where I'm finding it in the registry?

TIA!

I'd look where it's running from and check it's properties.
I'm running 2000 Pro - no keyboard.exe.

Also, check in Task Manager and services.msc for any info on it.

Thanks to both rossfingal and oBdA. I'm a lot more confident of removing that keyboard.exe entry now.  After a backup of the registry of course. :)
