Can someone give me a blow by blow method of deleting registry entries. I am stuck and tried all "possible" combinations of editing permissions but nothing seems to work. What is the secret formula to this?
The structure looks like this:
HKLMSoftwareClassesCLSID{ very long key}MiscStatus1
MiscStatus has a single subkey called 1
It (ie 1 ) cannot be opened, permission is denied. If I could delete 1, I could then delete the entire thing up to CLSID.
I have tried running regedit.exe as Administrator but that does not help. I am running Vista 64 SP2
Went here and tried all the suggestions but the last one: Listed under "Registry Export Not Inserting Into Registry" dated 9/12/08. I need help with this - have tried all the suggestions here with the same results as James. I got as far as "Open Regedit.exe, from the File menu, choose Import and select the REG association fix." and cannot figure out how to do this.
CCleaner registry utility deleted the registry keys for cd optical drivenow vista does not reister my cd and dvd drives.CCleaner does not have a backup facility so cannot restore.The key 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 is missing.It is not in the registry.How can i get it back and get my drives working again?
I shall start from the beginning of why i need someones key for a registry entry, i have a creative webcam that will not work with vista, so after using it with XP, i got sick of having it on my hard drive, so i bought a cheap camera so i can use webcam on vista, unfortunately, when i came to install it, the camera installed but kept getting a code 10 driver could not load. So after a few trolling sessions to find a resolution, i found i had to edit a key in the registry, in this case : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} and delete the upper and lower values to allow driver load. after a restart, everything looked good, my camera is now loading up and drivers are working, but everytime i try and use it, i get this
i had followed this guide Unable to delete registry keys
but i still cannot delete a registry key/subfolders that i need.
i am trying to install an ESET Nod32 AV upgrade but i cannot overwrite its registry keys in the local machine i believe, therefore it doesnt install correctly.
I recently tried to remove entries in my registry for Uniblue Spyeraser, but have been unable to do so. I get the "unable to delete all specified values". I even get this after enabling and signing on as admin AND running regedit as admin. I don't know how to get any more admin than that.

Win 7 compatible - have used this and deleted all 1200 entries it found. It makes a backup - been running for several hours and reboots with no probs. Also working fine so far on my Vista x64 and Win 7 x86 installs. After cleaning you need to shut the app. and reopen it for it to find it's backups. (Easy to find them by hand - it can compress them to.7z files, too ). Have used their regdefrag a lot - identical scans and results to the Auslogics and Glary versions- so use whichever defragger you already have. WARNING: not recommended to defrag registry across drives.
I am using this program to clean up my registry and it seems to work fine except the errors keep coming back. I can do a scan, clean up all the errors and then shut down and start up and I have a new 20 registry error list and most or all of the errors relate to "bad path for the value" and its windows files that seem to be at fault. I don't understand why Microsoft operating system would create registry errors on a startup, before anything has been installed etc. is RegistryBooster misleading me or what. I am running win7 but it did the same thing on vista home premium so I think the question is valid for this group.
Everytime Windows Vista Home Premium starts up I receive this error message: "Error in C:Windowssystem32spoolDRIVERSW32X863LXCFtime.dll Missing entry: RunDLLEntry"
What is weird, (I mean weird for me) is that for the first time first time I am getting more and more this kind of errors. Couple of times they were just several, but now their number has grown up to ~400 (!) They all are the same, except the digits between c00 and .mat change. I know that antiviruss sometimes deletes some files, that causes this kind of problem, but know it's just out of control. What should I do?
I HAD JUST RECOVERD FROM A VISTA ERROR WITH NEW VISTA INSTALLED (myuncle re-installed) AND HE LEFT AND I MESSED UP MY PC AGAIN ALL I HAVEIS A VISTA REOVERY CD NO re-install POSSIBLE. I PUT IN WINDOWS 7 THEME PLUS EXTRAS AND I RESTART AND SAYS "LoginUI.exe - Entry Point Not Found,The procedure entry point GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."
WHEN I GO THRU IT CLICK OK I GO TO pw SCREEN i put in pw AND THEN GET IT AGAIN AND I GET BLACkSCREEN w/ MOUSE NOTHIN ELSE THERE HAS BEEN CASES OF THIS ON THE INTERNET.
When I start my laptop, I am getting the message "The procedure entry point GetShortPathName coulkd not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" for Internet browser exe, yahoo messengar exe and many other programs. My laptop was working fine till yesterday night. I have no idea what is the cause of this problem and how could I resolve it.
I stupidly tried installing the NV Sys Tools from nVidia's website as shown in the pic below as I meet the system requirments.
It didn't work so uninstalled but an annoying shortcut leading nowhere is still installed in my Control Panel Classic View (see pic #2) and I have tried getting rid of it using a combination of System Restore & regedit to no avail.
My little problem is that I used to have a Vista/XP dual boot since I didn't need XP anymore I just deleted the partition and then extended the original Vista partition. The thing is, the entry for Windows XP on the bootloader is still there and I want to remove it because I want to sell this PC and the person most likely to buy it is not very computer savvy and he might get scared when he sees a black and white screen asking him if he wants to start Vista or XP and then press enter! I don't know how to do this on Windows, I have done it on Linux and it's very easy but obviously in Windows is completely different.
A couple weeks ago, all of my [Win Key] + [Another Key] as well as the start menu shortcut all stopped working seemingly out of the blue. I don't recall making any major changes to the system at that time except possibly using Revo Uninstaller in Advance Mode and accidentally deleting a needed registry entry.

i am clearning my new menu entry using registry, but i forgot how to delete the windows live call entry in the new menu? really no idea where is the entry for this in the registry.
"The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry". I get this error every time I try to install or update just about anything. I had this same problem a while back and couldn't find any answers so I called DELL and paid for them to fix it because this is my business computer and I needed to install something right away. I just chalked it up to the price I have to pay for my LACK of computer skills. It worked fine for several months but now it's happening again and I don't want to pay for it again. I would like to try the quoted fix but I have no idea what "that user control THINGY" is or how to turn it off. BTW, my OS is Vista 32bit and I have McAfee Security Center installed.
Quote: Originally Posted by John Doty Steve, I turned off that user program control thingy, rebooted with it off, then turned it on again and the error went away. Apparently, windows rebuilt some file and fixed itself. Of course, this was AFTER I had removed norton and bought zonealarm. Anyway, no more error.
I have windows vista x64.Recently I installed Ubuntu using its Wubi installer but when it failed to uninstall properly I deleted its all folders and files manually. But I am not able to delete its entry from list of OSes at boot-up? How can delete its entry?
I went to use word processor and received a message, dynamic link library wkwbl.dll, entry not found, so now I can't use the word processor for microsoft works.
As you can see in this image my "Search" selection (I don't know what can I call it) is GONE. It's not in my "Start Menu". Can anybody please tell me how can I get it back, and where did it go in first place?
I have double entries of a same program in the main "Open With" dialog box. They are not particularly associated with a certain file extension. Dose anyone know how to delete one of them?
my Recent Items list has disappeared. I've been to the Start Menu properties window, and under Privacy, I only have a single entry, "Store and display a list of recently opened programs". The corresponding entry for documents is missing. Furthermore, although I can check the one-and-only tick-box, the setting doesn't hold, and it's unchecked again next time I open Properties. I have a Recent Items folder (with the correct icon), deep in my User folder, but it's empty. I tried restoring the desktop.ini file from an early disk image, but although the restore appears to work according to the image program, the folder remains stubbornly empty. It's as though some system setting registry value has been set prohibiting the use or display of this Recent Items folder.
I'm looking for some steps on how to completely reset my registy. I've done disk cleanup and the other option of deleting all the temporary internet files, cookies and whatnot but my computer is still running slow. I'm sure it has something to do with downloaded game data hiding somewhere I can't find them!
I can delete my browsing history but it dosen't delete my favorite history. I don't want to delete my favorite list, just the history from when I access my favorite sites. Also how do I stop pages from auto loading. When I leave my pc on, when I get back to it I noticed other sites have automactically loaded. These ere sites my grandson went out to. I really don't have a need to go out to ninja turtle sites. I have tried everything I know to correct the above two issues but can't.
