Actually, /why/ you want to remove the registry entries is very

favors and which may come back to haunt you.

And then again, he may already know and feel that it's counterproductive to enter into such an arcane discussion. Your refusing to help becuase he doesn't give a "why" answer is silly and a decision that is not yours to make. You can ask but you cannont insist or intimate your own opinion as applying to him. We all know how flawed your opinions are.

Granted, you are free to do with your computer what you want. However,
if your larger purpose is to understand how to use your computer
wisely, understanding what you think you want to accomplish is most
important. OTOH, if you aren't that interested in your computer well,
best of luck to you.

Thanks Shenan , In RegEdit do I right click on unneeded registry
entry and select properties and give permission from there? I will
give that a try. Larry

Thanks for suggestion Bo, but safe mode did not work either.

As for the other responders, I appreciate you taking the time to
read my problem entry, but how to remove the entries was the
question not why I wanted to remove them.

I have Administrative privileges and I ran jv16powertools to
cleanout unneeded registry entries. It showed twelve(12) instances
of "Flash9b.ocx", but would not let me delete them. This was
installed by Adobe flashplayer. I uninstalled Flash player and
Shockwave player and ran jv16 again. Still had 12 instances of
"flash9b.ocx" and still could not delete them. I ran regedit and
went to the entries and still was unable to delete them.
How can I delete these entries?
Give yourself permissions using RegEdit to delete them.
