Re: NIC deleting in the Registry

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi!

Thank you Alan for your reply.

Yes, I have been disabling the NIC, but still the question, how to get it
completely deleted out of the system, i.e. from the Device Manager and the
Registry etc.

I have successfully (OK, OK, some times needed to go back to a previous
Restore Point ...) deleting hundreds and hundreds of unnecessary keys/values
from the Registry and of course would like to get rid also of this one, which
will not anymore ever have any role on my machine ...

The deleting of it from the Device Manager is leading to an Error something
like "Can't be deleted, because may be needed at boot-up" (sorry my OS is a
different language version), and the same type of error also upon a delete
trial of some of the relating keys from the Registry. These same deletion
denials appear also in Safe Mode, so I haven't been finding any way to solve
this.

So, are these keys somehow locked and should these deletions maybe be made
on a second and not active Windows disk from the System sub-hives or what
would be the best solution for it? And of course, which are the "key"
entries/keys to concentrate on amongst the "jungle" of hundreds
unnecessary/unused entries related to these, and on which CCS's a.s.o.?


Any way-leading advice on this much appreciated.


Best regards,

Pete V.
