Hi

Can't help with the specific file but I have used Agent Ransack for my search utility for years.
It it's on your computer it will find it.

I couldn't get along without it.

Agent Ransack - Download

It is so much better then Windows search there is no comparison and it's free!

You might want to make sure that you have your computer set to show System Files which are hidden by default.

I searched my C:\ drive and came up with 12 references in 8 seconds.

I don't know it any of them are what you are looking for.

Not sure what you mean by nodes. They ARE both files and DLL libraries relating to DRM. They should both be in C:\Windows\System32 and there should be a 32 bit version in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
