Unable to delete registry key

[Lua]

Have you tried exporting, editing and importing?

Can you run us through the procedure, particularly, editing once exported?

"BTW The Patriots SUCK." Is that the best you could come up
with? Next time, try to be a little more creative. Thanks!

Now on to more important things. Since, at the moment, I don't
have access to a
computer that was upgraded from Win2K to XP Pro I wasn't able
to double check on your response. No problem, I figured I'd
check on the web for an article supporting your claim. I
googled just about every possible combination of the following
keywords: regedt32,
Windows 2000, Windows XP and upgrade. Much to my surprise, I
couldn't find
anything to corroborate your statement that under the right
circumstances the Win2K version of Regedt32 would run under
Windows XP. You would think that at some point in the last 4
years someone would post that little bit of computing trivia
somewhere on the internet. Not even Microsoft is aware of this.

If you could pass along a link to a web site that supports your
position I'd be more than happy to admit that I was wrong and
you were right. One condition, it can't be something like this:

If I get the chance this week, I'm going to try and get my
hands on an XP Pro upgrade disk and test out your theory. Just
so I get it right, is there some special combination of Service
Pack levels that have to be in place for this to work.
Something like Win2K SP3 upgraded to XP SP1? Let me know.
Thanks.

Didn't notice it being mentioned, but have you tried to do an uninstall
of the app that is related to SecuRom, apparently it is used with games,
and each time the game is activated the key is regenerated, also have
you tried to do a System Restore to the point before you installed this
product.

It's the same thing with other commands as well like msconfig when upgrading
Win98/ME to win2K.

Right click on the key you want to delete and make sure that you have
permission.

Hey dudes

Go to http://www.sysinternals.com. Mark Russinovich an
his gang have a load of free tools for fixing and maintainin
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Of particular import is the RegDelNull tool which can be found her

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RegDelNull.htm

It's a command line program, and it doesn't require anything special

Load it into your system32 folder and go to the command prompt

Type regdelnull <path> [-s], i.e

regdelnull hklm -

and follow the onscreen instructions. That should delete the SecuRO
key or any other registry key that contains NULLs

Full path of SecuROM key as follows
[code:1:673e057f95]HKLM\S-1-5-21-606747145-790525478-725345543-500\Software\SecuROM\!CAUTION
