I run OneCare and it has an error deleting one of the registry keys.
So I run a registry cleaner and it too can not delete a key.
It is shown below.
I assume it is the same one OneCare had a problem with.
I can see that it points to an older version of the ocx (I now have
Flash10a.ocx")

So, have any idea why it can't delete the key?
And how I can do it?

Thanks


BTW, OneCare never gives me the option of selecting items although its text
implies I can. It's no problem but I am curious. Do you know why that could
be so?

Try this: Save what is listed below as a .reg file - call it ocx.reg
Without start and stop

Copy and paste this line into the Run box then click OK:

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}

Then see if the key is gone.

I did it in a command prompt window so I could see the result and got:
Access is denied.

Guess I'm stuck with it

Thanks

When I executed it it asked if I wanted to add the information, I said yes
and it said it was successful. But it wasn't.

So I tried the original (i.e. without the minus symbols) to add the keys. I
don't know what should happen if one re-adds a key but I got the message
that the keys are open. I removed Flash from my system and tried again with
the same result. Even tried in Safe mode so I can't imagine anything is
really holding that key open.


Thanks

This is how it should be done.

No, you're not. While in regedit.exe, you can right-klick any key, then
adjust the permissions so that an Administrator kan modify/delete the key.
You must, of course, be logged on as Administrator.

I thought sure that was going to do it but when I tried I got "unable to
delete key"

I tried logged in both as myself (an Administrator) and as Admin.
I have Full Control and Read permissions
I notice that the list of users in the Permissions dialog included System
but not Admin.
Are they different names for the same account?

Thanks
