Just now I did a scan on registry, and found some suspecting entries
there. So I use regedit trying to delete those entries.

Lo and behold, when I tried to delete those entries, I got the "Unable
to delete all specified values" error message, and they stay put !

The registry entries are located at HKEY_Local_Machine->System-
ControlSet002->Enum->ROOT->LEGACY_xxxyyy (name of programs)

What can I do about these registries ?

How to delete them ???

Please help !!

Most likely because they're in use.
Such as with the windows operating system.
Oh sure, you go right ahead and be big bad know it all technician and
just delete stuff you don't know squat about.
Don't come back and ask how come my system just crashed.

First, ya might want to do a search on the web for those keys and find
out what they're all about.
Or at least the program it mentions.

This is probably the number one cause of why windows user have
problems. They don't know enough and they think they're gonna get
ahead and delete stuff they know nothing about.

I have found that in the past anyway, regedit leaves behind a lot of
stuff that is related to MS in any way. Even though it's ancient
history. Suggest you try other cleaners and might want to try out
"hijackthis".

Sorry, I am running Linux and I don't have a Registry or an Anti-Virus.

You may think you don't have a registry but you really have. It may not be
called a registry but it is there.

Please do tell where I can find my registry and how to recognise this
registry when I find it.

Just try to create (write) any operating system without a registry. I would
venture to say 'impossible'.
Get a program listing for the program you want to find the registry for.

/etc? Only /etc isn't a database with cryptically-named "keys", it's a
collection of text files, so... So much for that comparison. :-|

If you're creating a Windows operating system, sure.

I'm not looking for a registry. You're telling me that I have one. I'm
asking you where I can find this so-called 'registry' in my Mandriva
2009.0 OS.

Are you so moronic you can't read? Get a program listing and it'll be there.
It may not be called a registry but it'll be there
