    unable to delete some third party registry entries, even as admin


    Hi there everyone,

    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.

    Can anyone tell me how I might go about getting rid of these entries?

    thanks,
    json

    Permissions, I'd say.

    I use the non-free registry editor "Registry Workshop", which makes it
    easy to try to change permissions of registry entries.

    Even with that, I haven't always succeeded in deletions, though...

    Perhaps when I failed, I was doing it from my personal Administrator
    account, rather than *the* Administrator account (sorry, I don't
    recall).
