cannot delete reg key in Windows 7

[tk007b]

Hopefully, missing something obvious here BUT ..

I have a buggered reg key (it's the UI key from Skype, in Current User). I've tried changing permissions, running regedt32 and trying from safe mode but all do not work.

If you've got a reg key that won't delete does anyone know how to get around it.

Will delete profile, if I have to but hopefully there will be a simpler option.

Cheers

PS - Access is denied is the error message

Solved it ! ... Phew !!

Right click the key. The message says you "cannot see the permision but you
can change it". Okey it. Click ADD, then ADVANCED then SEEK (or FIND NOW) and
when the list of users/groups come up, choose administrator. ACCEPT twice and
then check out "Total control" to grant permissions and Accept. Get to
ADVANCE (SECURITY SETTINGS) and check the box to "include all the permissions
from the primary/parent object" (Your Windows English version may say
something a bit different. Mine is in Spanish). Click accept. At that moment,
the key should have its permissions set, equal to those of the parent key

Close the permissions window and now you should be able to access the key.
Then you can install the program which needed access to that key during
installation. If still another key comes up as unaccessible, repeat the
process with it.
