Delete stubborn impossible registry key! Solution / Fix


Trying to delete a stubborn registry entry, i finally found this solution:

It´s really powerful so must be used with a great amount of caution. It deleted the stubborn key instantly.

Under Administrator execution of the Command prompt, enter: psexec -s -i regedit

This will run regedit from the System account.

psexec can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psexec.mspx

psexec’s normal use is to remotely interface other systems but it just happens to be able to run things like regedit from the System account.
