Error accessing registry keys even with administrator priveleges

Hi,
I am trying to access some of the registry keys through windows registry
editor, but I am not able to access them, though I am administrator on the
machine. I am not trying to modify any of the keys, I am just trying to read
those keys.

Some of the keys that I am not able to access are like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{GUID}\Properties
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{GUID}\Properties
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{GUID}\Properties
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{GUID}\Properties

Are these keys are protected by WRP feature of Vista? If so it should
atleast allowed me to read those keys.

One more thing when I try to export these keys, it says key does not exist.

Can anybody update me on this issue?

Thanks in advance.
