 Permission Denied while deleting Registry Keys

 Hi,

I want to delete some of the registry keys using a script. however when
i modified the Registry sample for my requirements and ran it from the
command prompt, it gave me a Permission Denied message.

I am pretty new to this stuff.

Anyone ? How can I overcome this problem?

Hi,

Some keys are secured under Windows NT / Windows 2000 so that normal users
can't change them. Which keys are you trying to change? If you run RegEdt32
(instead of Regedit) you can check the security settings of keys. Note that
this only works on NT / 2000

 Permission Denied while deleting Registry Keys
Hi,
I am trying to remove the entries under :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Global
Namespace\Java Packages

However I found out that it is not possible to remove the keys other
than the HKCU using the methods exposed by WScprit's shell.

thanks,
pramendra.
