This will bomb as not accetpable. If you change it to currentuser if you
have admin success it shoudl proceed without problem.

Sub Test3()
Dim regKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey =
Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine

Try
regKey.OpenSubKey("console",
Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree,
System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights.Delete).ToString()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("The specified access to the key was not
possible")
End Try

End Sub
