Re: Can't Access Registry Key

Hi,

Have you tried logging on to the system locally, and assigning the permission for that branch?

Thanks for your reply. I have tried to take ownership at all levels. The
difficulty is that when I try to save it, it won't allow it to. It appears
as if it just can't read it or access it at all.

See if first taking ownership of that branch helps you assign Permissions for that branch.

Hello. I have one particular registry key that seems to be corrupt. It's
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/INTERNET EXPLORER/MAIN/FEATURECONTROL

I am an admin and have logged in as myself and as a local admin while off
the network. When I click on the featurecontrol key, I get the message:
Cannot open. Error while opening key.

It gives me the ability to set the permissions on it, but it can't save them
for the same reason as above.

I've tried to rename it, even tried to add a sub-key underneath it but
continually get the same error. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am able to view/change/update/add to any other part of the registry.

Any help is appreciated!
