I export the key from regedit:

"Group"="System Bus Extender"
"Start"=dword:00000000

the "automatically recover " means when I delete it, it recover Immediately
it seems that the key can not be deleted.
is there any tip can set some key in registry can not be changed?

Hmmmm...... Whatever gqtilo67 is it seems to be a well garded secret! That it's in the "System Bus Extender" group makes me wonder if it should be removed or disabled. Did you try removing the key in Safe Mode? There is a driver associated with it that is started, try finding it and see if it can be shut down before you try to delete the key.

Or you can set the "Start"=dword:00000000 value to 4 (disabled) and reboot the computer and see if it can then be deleted. Be careful! Not really knowing what this thing is, disabling the service may prevent the computer from booting! As it is now it's started as a boot startup type device/service. If the computer refuses to boot remember to try Last Known Good Configuration and keep your Windows 2000 cd handy, you might need to use the Recovery Console if it needs to be restarted again.
