I found the bad key. Do you know how long it takes to go thru the registry
one key at a time? Anyway, here is the problem - if I highlight the key in
REGEDIT, I immediately get a BSOD. How can I delete this without
highlighting it with REGEDIT?

I am having a similar problem with Regedit. I get a BSOD when I try to
export it. I have the stop code and parameters.
0x00000050 (0xE4850000,ox00000000,0x8056B9ac,0x00000001)
I have several more. The only value that changes is the first parameter. I
have a memory dump. I suspect a bad key/value. I have tried several
registry cleaners. One also gives me a BSOD, but some don't and report
errors. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Vince Radice

Edit the registry remotely (from another system). Slave the drive in another XP computer and edit it. For info on this see:

Advanced Registry Editing
Another option is to create a bootable Bart PE disk, boot from that and edit the registry.
