Registry permission problem

I switched from Nvidia video card to ATI and am having trouble getting
rid of the Nvidia startup stuff. The files are gone but there are 3 reg
keys I can't get rid of. All are in
HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run Keys are Nwiz,
NvCplDaemon, and Nvmediacenter. I can open regedit, delete them, close
regedit, and when I reopen it they are back. My user is a member of
administrators and regedit show administrators having full control.
Have also tried from administrator account and from safe mode. As
administrator I can delete the keys and close/reopen regedit and they
still gone but no matter what I do the keys come back on next reboot.

Have also tried DriverCleaner Registry cleaner, and JV16 power tools,
same result.

I've tried checking permissions all the way up the tree and everything
looks ok; obviously it isn't though. This has to be a permissions issue
but I can't find it.
