the device manager and can't be deleted that way. Can anyone give me a heads
up on how to delete the keys.
Hi Art,
You will need to take ownership of the registry key first, then you should be able to delete or modify it. Method Two (step 3) will show you how in this tutorial.
Take Ownership of file
