posts as I can find but no help. Everyone talks about being sure you have adminstrator rights, assigning right to the key, safe mode. No one seems to have any ideas after that. I've tried booting into safemode, signing on my account with administrative privileges or the default adminstrator acoount. I've tried to assign the key Full Control and check box to replace all child objects for Administrator and All Accounts, and it works for all but the problem key, get error message: "Registry editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys."This all started when I tried to update Windows Media Player to version 11 so I can download and play files from my TIVO. I have version 10 and they say I have to upgrade to version 11 to play the files. In running the upgrade it always fails at the very end. The log file gives the error message as access denied on the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Mediaplayer\Settings\MP3encoding\lowrate.

in to vote Anyone tried deleting a registry key in Windows 7? Got "access denied" or "Error while deleting key"? The usual response is, "You http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/registry-error-opening-key-cant-delete-it/ need to run regedit as an administrator". but I *AM* logged in as Administrator, and running regedit as administrator, trying to assign administrator full permissions on that registry key in order to delete it!! Am I mistaken, or isn't Administrator supposed to be able to administer and control all the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/56fed319-a532-46a4-a384-fd795998c4a3/regedit-permissions-access-denied-or-error-while-deleting-key-even-as-admin?forum=w7itproinstall settings on the computer, in order to set it up for the "Average Joe" user? So, under the permissions menu of that key, go to advanced, change the owner from System to Administrator, and try again. It's no longer saying "access denied", but "Cannot delete xxxxxx. Error while deleting key". The scenario: Basically, the wireless has stopped working on a laptop. The device does not show up in Device Manager, but is in the registry, so the normal procedure is to delete the registry entry for the device in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet (and /ControlSet001) /Enum/PCI ,then attach the device or restart the computer, it finds the "new" hardware and reinstalls it.

Why, Microsoft, why???!!! Please just make the Administrat
