Delete Registry Files

Don't blame me:-) I believe you can delete them in safe mode.

 

Good luck,

Andy

Andy:

Already tried that. Any other suggestions?

 

Found this on Google searching newsgroups. Use REGEDT32

It would have been interesting to know *what* error message you get.

Anyway, it's probably some security issue:

1. Make sure you have administrator privileges.
2. Use REGEDT32 instead of REGEDIT.
3. Select the key you want to delete.
4. Select "Security" and check "Allow - Full Control".
5. Delete the key.
6. Not a kernel-mode issue at all.

You made my year. I've searched everywhere and spoken to many "tech" guys- you got it right. I really appreciate your help!

I use a freeware called RegCleaner to delete registry entries of programs. It automatically creates a Backup of the registry entries that have been deleted so that they may be restored, if necessary.

hey arjun_ca,

RegCleaner would of been too easy:-) Where were you two days ago:-) I'll remember that!

Well AndySalva, even I came to learn about RegCleaner after doing a search on google.

Thank Google. It's the place to go for answers. If you can't find an answer searching the Web, search the newsgroups... Of cource I didn't come up with RegCleaner:-) And let's not forget to thank Dell for this forum!
