Windows Registry Editor - Low Level

[Gizmokid2005]

Alright guys, I need some collaborative information.

I have some registry key FOLDERS that I can't get rid of. I've tried CCleaner, and deleting them in regedit in safe mode as admin. They always say access is denied or error while opening key.

I need to get this folder and subfolders deleted but I need a program, probably a boot disk app, that I can run to kill them.

Any ideas?

Will Killbox do the trick?

Unzip it to the desktop
Double-click Killbox.exe to run it.
Select Delete on Reboot.

I'll check it out. FYI - the link changed:

I don't think it's going to work...unless I'm missing how you specify a specific registry key to delete...

you may have reset the administrator permissions on that part of the registry to "full" before being able to delete it/them. To reset the permissions right click on the registry item, select permissions, click on administrator, then give yourself as admin, the permissions you want, you may have to revoke "system" permissions, to prevent "system" or whatever may be running in the bg, from blocking the admin from applying the changes.. To low level edit the registry, try saving it/exporting it, and editing the backup, maybe regedit is able to edit backups? then re-import after editing..

I tried editing the permission. I can edit them, but I get "Error while deleting key"

Going to try editing the registry now by exporting and reimporting.

No. The export/import of the registry isn't going to work.

when you get a chance to work on it again, let me know what is in there that's messing it up, if you are able to see what's inside the subfolders.
