Error Deleting Registry Key

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Please read following (original post last). Reposted here in 2K registry
from XP General. Can anyone in this forum help ???????

**************************

Thanks.....I was confused for a moment

I see and can set 'Permissions' but only in XP registry. This is not the
case in win2K registry (checked first hence confusion) I 've done as you
suggest in XP registry and deleted all references to "panda".

There appears to be no "permissions' in win2K registry, or none that I can
find. Can you advise how I can resolve same issue but within 2k ???

*****************

They have restrictive privileges. You'll need to Right Click on each
key, take Permissions - Add yourself and then Grant yourself Full
Privileges. In some cases you have to start at the lowest sub-key
level and perform the maintenance and then move upward through
the key tree.
