Registry Problem

Question

I recently tried to look at the properties located at the following registry key...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\WPD\0000\Properties]

... for a reason that escapes me at present but I was greeted with a dialog stating that access to the key was denied due to an error in the registry.

How can I delete the key so that it can be recreated?

Regards

Gary

The reason I went to that key was due to the following warning...

I was unable to determine what problem actually exists due to the access denial.

WPD\000 is related to my Nokia 9300.

If no-one can access that key, then uninstall/reinstall of PCSuite won't fix the problem either.

On my system the Permissions for that Key are set as follows

Everyone - Read

OWNER RIGHTS - Special

SYSTEM - Full Control, Read

I am not allowed to delete the Key, or edit the entries under it

Can you actually see the entries?

(I have the Nokia 6303)

can you export them?

Answer 3

You could tell us what the problem is that makes you feel that you need to delete that key. Maybe someone (or a number of someone's) can give you an alternative to reinstalling Windows.

Answer 4

Normally, I don't have a problem since I am an administrator.

It appears that Win7 has detected a problem and locked that key which is a bit stupid because I can't correct the problem now.

I recall now, I saw an error in the event logs relating to that key and that's why I went there.

So, I take it that there's nothing I can do but reinstall Windows?

Answer 5

I have a feeling that none of the ‘Properties’ keys can be accessed, in order to prevent changes or in your case, deletions.
