Easy!... Not with permission restrictions on the administrator account it's not! So I need to give myself permission, to give myself permission, to do a simple task like delete a single registry key! Why, Microsoft, why???!!! Please just make the Administrator account a hidden "God mode" account that can do anything, and make the lives of us techies much easier in the process! /RANT Now, where did I put that XP disc?!....
