In order to show the GPS Control Panel on my Tytn I have to delet the
registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Hide


But the following code:

RegistryKey registryKey =
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(gpsRegistryKeyName);
registryKey.DeleteSubKey("Hide");
registryKey.SetValue("Group", "2",
RegistryValueKind.DWord);
registryKey.Close();

throws:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException:
UnauthorizedAccessException

Is it possible to delete this key at all?
