Re: Delete Registry Key, Has No Security Tab

Ouch. The only other place to check is to see if what is in the
\windows\repair folder can help though it may be the registry files from the
original install.

I do not have any system restore points, Microsoft suggested I do an
inplace
repair and it remove previous restore points.

This is XP Pro. Cannot delete in safe mode or diagnostic mode. This key
is
the first key in ENUM so the device manager is blank. Tried to do a
restore
point back to a week earlier, no help. Tried to do an inplace OS
repair,
stops at 33 minutes, log reports unable to read Enum. Found this key,
that
I
can not delete as there is no security tab. If possible it looks like
my
only
choice is to somehow export the registry, which will not export this
key
because it does not have permissions, then load up the new exported
registry.
I have searched for days and have not found anyway to delete this key.
Or
if
I could edit a restore point registry and then restore it that way. Not
sure
how to continue at this point. I purchase a case with Microsoft, but
the 3
techs I talked to had less knowledge about this problem than I do. I
have
tried there fixes which were basic stuff and no help. I am at a loss
here.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you for your help

If this is XP Home, try from Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode, boot
the
computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as
the
computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu. Navigate
using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here.
