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

All that you asked me to check, was as you wrote. Only difference in entries was under Permissions for Administrators and system, there were two entries but labled "classes_root\clsid" and the other was "parentobject". Other than that, everything else was normal.

To be totally clear on this, for
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID

the Permissions are inherited from here and are both Full and Read for Administrators and System
For Advanced Perms, Administrators and System AND your User account name, show Full Control and Read.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Groups or user names: Administrators and System
Clicking Advanced perms shows:
2 listings of Administrators with the 2 entries you cited
2 listings of System with the 2 entries you cited, both with Full Control

We need to check the Security setting of the location for the backup files of the update. See if this folder is present:

C:\windows\$NtUninstallKB942288-v3$ < ---- this folder
If it is, right click it and click Properties
Click the Security tab
Administrators and System should show all the boxes checked except for Special Permissions
Then right click

C:\windows\$NtUninstallKB942288-v3$\reg00004 <-- this *file*

Check the settings by following the above steps, too.

If the settings are different, please change them.
