Cannot Delete Any Registry Key In HKLM / SYSTEM
Dec 20, 2010
I have Windows 7 Ultimate, and every time i want to delete a key in HKLM/SYSTEM, i get "Cannot delete (key name): Error while deleting key" Here's what i've tried: setting Permissions on the key to full control for administrators group, owner, owner rights, SYSTEM, and my own admin account, NONE of that helps. Also, in 'Advanced security settings-->Owner, i changed it to my own admin account, and also ticked "replace owner on subcontainers and objects" but i get another error "Registry Editor could not set owner on the key currently selected, or some its subkeys." I even turned off User Account Control (UAC).

Is it necessary for my OS?I was gonna proceed with deleting it because I had a hunch it was the reason my Explorer.exe keeps crashing every time I move the taskbar.I thought I should check here first just in case I make matters worse/Should I go ahead in delete it? I don't have any K-lites codecs but maybe this is a leftover from the uninstall?

In order to get rid of the *.zip folder view in WinExplorer on a64bit Windows 7 system I tried to delete (according to some tutorials) the Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeClassesCLSID{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}
Unfortunately this is not possible immediately. When I try to delete it then I got a popup: "Cannot delete.... Error while deleting key." Ok, so I tried to get ownership of this key by right clicking-->Permissions then selecting "Users" and enabling "Full control" the "apply" button but I got here: "Unable to save permission changes on .... Access denied".
This last error comes for all Owners: SYSTEM, Administrators, trusted Installers. I have Admin rights. So what more do I need to get ownership? Every change in owner is rejected as well.

I just installed a new HD but I ran into a little problem. When I tried to install a patch for COD I did it wrong. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it then tried to set up the patch again. The problem is when I do that its still finding remenents of the first time I tried to install the patch so its aborting the install because its saying the 1.5 patch is still there even though it should not be. How can I get rid of all rements of a pervious installed software? Last time I thought someone told me to use the windows registry key but I can't remember how to do that.

While System Restore usually does what it is supposed to do, sometimes it doesn't. When I am intending to do something a bit drastic or unusual on my desktop now, I routinely make a full registry backup. (Start/Run/type REGEDIT/OK/File/Export. Name and save the file in Documents) On my machine this takes 20 - 30 secs and results in a file around 200 MB. I have never had to use one of these backups to restore this machine so far

The scenario is as follows:
A Win7 system has some problems and could NOT be booted itself. So I took an additional bootable repair or LiveSystem CD and start the computer with it. I have now a running WinOS and another dead Win7 e,g, on a partition C: on a hard disc.
Now I want to apply an existing *.reg Script into the registry of the dead system (=NOT the currently running system. Can I do this somehow? Is there e.g. a command
regedit myscript.reg -writetowin C:Windows
whch writes the *,reg file to the Registry of the Win7 system which it find on partition C: in folder "Windows"?
Maybe I can address the target registry file directly regedit myscript.reg -writeregistrydirect C:windows txxxxxxx.dat
In which file(s) is the Registry stored? Second question: Can I at least read from such an external dead Registry?

While windows was uploading some updates yesterday, I cleaned my registry using Iolo's system mechanic tool and that's where the problems started. (I already read and understood your message: don't use those tools and stay out of your registry. A lesson I learned too late, unfortunately.)My computer rebooted and after a couple of minutes I noticed the message: " failure configuring windows features reverting changes ". I managed to bypass this loop by running in safe mode and recover my computer to a restore point in the past. This only worked partially: I get windows to run in normal mode but I get this message: "system failed while restoring the registry from the restore point. Restore point damaged or was deleted during restore". So it didn't restore but I can get into my windows now.So I don't get the 'reverting change loop' anymore, so I can access my computer but what's the mess? Well my computer is slow as hell.Like mentioned above, I already looked around on this forum and wrote down what I already tried. [code] My computer is terrible slow because of a registry defrag/optimization of a registry tool (in combination with windows update) --> I need to find a way to get back my old registry files but system recovery ain't working.

I recently reorganized my computer and this included a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new disk. I backed up all my data on the old disk so that I could make sure I wasn't losing any important documents or whatever.I'm now sure I've got everything off the disk that I needed and am using the disk as a storage disk for media. However, there are still folders that I can't seem to erase in the Program Files, Program Files (x86), and Windows directories. Most of the files are gone but about 12GB of junk remains that I no longer need. Whenever I try to delete what is left, it says I need permission from TrustedInstaller and it won't let me delete these files.Is there any way to blow these directories away without having to format the disk? I really can't format because the disk is almost full with data that I need to keep and I don't really have any other disks to temporarily back these files up to.

I have WinXP installed on C: and Windows 7 installed on D:. As you can see in the attached image, C: is marked as a system partition but in fact I'd like to delete it and leave only D: with Windows 7 on it. However I can't delete it because it says it's a system partition soooo... how do I do this? Is setting the C: as inactive in command prompt (and D: as active) enough? Or can I just merge these 2 partition into one? I tried EaseUS but it says that boot or system partitions cannot be modified/merged.

I'm trying to delete an ISO image which appears to be in use by System. When I boot into safe mode and try it, the error still comes up. I've also tried deleting it via the elevated command prompt. Changing the security permissions doesn't seem to do it

So I cleaned my registry using RegSeaker and now my computer BSODs at the 'starting windows' screen, even if I try to start in safe mode. I created a backup of my old registry before cleaning and I can access it using the command prompt that you can access in the system restore options. However, when I try to update the registry with it I get an error message saying 'cannot import.

I had an old P4 system that the PSU went out on, so while I was at the store getting a new PSU, I picked up a copy of Win7 also. Put the PSU and Win7 in and the next day, the Motherboard died. Went and bought a new i-core motherboard, processor, memory and video card and put it together using two drives. The one Sata drive from the old system is a 1T that has the Win7 from the other system on it along with about 75 movies, 500 pictures and 1500 songs. I used a 250 gig SATA to load the Win7 onto the new system. So now the new system is running off the 250gig and all my files are on the 1T drive along with the old Win7 folder. I want to delet the old Win7 folder but it won't let me giving me a message saying I need permission from a trusted installer to remove these files.

Is there anyway I can delete some files and not have them stay on my system? I plan on deleting at least 10gigs of old Music, and don't want them to stay on my Hard Drive like usual.Also, if I use Revo/PC Decrapifier, does that get rid of any pieces of the program that there is, or should I run CCleaner/Registry Cleaner as well.

I have always only used it to store data, so why is Windows 7 telling me it is a system partition? Did Windows put data on the drive and start using it without even asking me?At first I tried just unplugging the drive, but then Windows would not boot, so clearly it needs it for some reason.

I have two drives, C and D. D used to be an OS drive in another computer, and I just use it now as a 2nd drive to store some extra stuff. So yes, the Prog Files folder is there, the Windows folder is there....
Anyway, is it possible to somehow delete hiberfil.sys off of the D drive? That is, without physically removing the drive, and using it in an enclosure.

I been backup my system to second internal hard drive E. But the system image file take almost 160 gb that take up too much space. So I want to change to backup my system to an external hard drive. Now even I did delete all backup files in E: drive. But looks like that 160 gb system image still in my E: drive. Because when I check my E: drive properties I still missing 160 gb space so I think that system image still in there somewhere. How can I completely delete that system image to free up that 160 gb space on my hard drive.
