I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64 and I can edit the value. Right click on Advanced and choose "Permissions". Click your user name and make sure you have full permissions: If you don't, try allowing yourself full control (if the boxes are available). If they're greyed out like in my screenshot, but you don't have full access, you can try to take ownership of the object by clicking Advanced Then next to Owner click Change: Type your username into the box and then press Check Names.

mistake on Windows Vista, but even so I had a hard time finding the solution on Google so I thought I'd post about it. When I was trying to http://blog.tjitjing.com/index.php/2007/02/regedit-cannot-create-value-error.html add a key in the Registry Editor, regedit.exe, I got an error message saying http://www.askvg.com/guide-how-to-take-ownership-permission-of-a-registry-key-in-windows/ "Cannot create value: Error writing to the registry."I have never seen this on XP (but then again I don't edit the registry that often), but since this is Vista with UAC (User Account Control) I thought it might have to do with permissions so I tried to run regedit.exe as Administrator but to no avail. Finally windows 7 I figured out that I did not have the right permissions in the registry tree.The solution is simply to right click on the folder and select Permissions. You may not even have the right to change the permissions, if this is the case then first you have to take ownership - click Advanced and then the Owner tab. Funny thing about my folder is that the owner was a group regedit windows 7 called "TrustedInstaller". After I had taken ownership, I wanted to change it back to the "TrustedInstaller" group but it was nowhere to be found. Apparently you can't change it back - it is not a group but a service and part of Windows Resource Protection (WRP) as noted by Richard Civil and others in this TechNet post. Two other useful newbie things I found out - thanks to this post by Tim Sneath of Microsoft - when trying to figure out how to run a regedit.exe as Administrator in Vista was this: Run from the XP Start menu is now replaced with Start Search bar in Vista. Simply type regedit.exe (or cmd.exe etc.) in the search bar and hit Enter and it will run. To run an application with Administrator privileges using this method, instead of hitting Enter you hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter. 19 Comments (Click here to add your comment!)

and assign full permission on a particular registry key. Although we provide detailed steps to do this task in all our tutorials, some people find it difficult to take ownership of registry keys. Recently when we received an email from one of our reader asking how to assign a user full permission on a registry key in Windows, we decided to create a dedicated article about it. So today in this article, we'll post a step-by-step guide with screenshots which will teach you how to take ownership and grant full permission and control on a registry key. It'll become useful if you are trying to delete a key in Registry and getting an error such as "Cannot delete key: Error while deleting key". So without wasting time, lets start the tutorial: UPDATE: Also check out new methods to take ownership and grant full permissions on Registry keys from command-line: [Windows Tip] Take Ownership (Permission) of Registry Keys from Command Line 1. Type regedit in RUN or start menu searchbox and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor. 2. Now go to the desired registry key, right-click on it and select "Permissions..." option. 3. It'll open a new dialog box. Click on "Advanced" button. For Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7: Go to "Owner" tab, select your username and click on Apply button. If you also want to take ownership of the sub-key, enable the option "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects". PS: If you want to get permission on all sub-keys, enable following 2 options in "Permissions" tab: Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object If you are not a Windows 8 or later OS user, jump to Step 4. For Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 and later: Click on "Change" button near "TrustedInstaller" as shown in following image: It'll open new dialog box. Now type your username and click on "Check Names" button. It'll automatically convert the username to correct format. Now click on OK button. 4. Now select your username in first dialog box and check the "Allow" checkbox given for "Full Control" option. 5. That's it. Click on Apply and OK buttons and you'll now have full permission on the registry key. Also check: [Guide] How to Take Ownership (Permission) of a File or Folder Manually in Windows?
