unable to delete registry key
i've been using a registry cleaner to clean up invalid entries, but there were many that i couldnt remove, via the registry cleaner or manually.
i received error messages "Cannot open .xxx: Error while opening key." "Cannot delete .xxx: Error while deleting key." how do i clean up my system effectively? |

Give a couple of examples of the entries that you are having troubles with.

whoa that was a fast and quick reply!
here are a few: HKCR\.avs HKCR\.MOV HKCR\.OGM HKCR\.ZMF HKCR\.ZNI HKCR\ChatFile\DefaultIcon i think these problems are not related to their respective software as there are like 65 of these random keys in total |

i think the files are sort of write-protected, how can i override that protection temporaily to delete them?

Why exactly do you want to get rid of them?
