Invalid ProgID Entrys will not delete.

ratch

When I do an aggressive scan I have 12 Medium invalid ProgID entries that I think is coming from Adobe Reader 8 that I have installed. The registry scan picks these up but when I delete them they return immediately on the next scan. When I go to the registry it will not allow me to delete these entries there. Any one know how I can get rid of these permanently? I can not find any thing from Adobe. Thank you. I can't figure out how to copy these errors to this post, they on on the clip board but will not paste into this message.

Some registry keys can not be removed because the currently logged in user has not "permissions" to modify or delete that key. Some keys will not allow any user to modify or delete them.

So you will have to edit the key's Access Control List (ACL).

How to manage that, you can find here (click on that link : )

Thank You redseujac, I've never right clicked the left hand keys in the registry. I will not forget this nice peice of information.
