Deleting Registry Keys

A

Adrian

I have uninstalled a program and the remaining registry keys are causing me
a problem. When I search the registry and try to delete the keys I can't it
tells me there was an error deleting the key. I have full perms to the
registry and its subkeys, but I can't get them out. Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

What program and what subkeys? Certain keys in the registry are
protected by the system and will not allow you to remove or change
them. Usually though, if it's a program you've uninstalled, you
should be able to delete the keys that refer to the program. Also,
are you certain you have permissions on "each" key you're trying to
remove?
