Thanks Bruce,
In my Platform Builder I can see Hive-based Registry and RAM based
registry - I choose the Hive based. Now, I am not sure if hives can
still be in RAM and need some flushing mechanism - from what I read,
they are supposed to use the file system, so right now I am trying to
find out what is wrong with my setup.

Do you really have a persistent registry in your 6.0 build?  The default is
to put the hives in RAM.

Also, I am not able to flush the registry key in the persistent
storage. I am using the RegistryKey.Flush and also unmanaged
RegFlushKey but data is not flushed. Also, in this case I did not get
any exception - just after rebooting, data that was supposed to be
flushed is not in the registry.

Any input is highly appreciated.

Hi

I am trying to delete programatically a particular third-party
registry key using the DeleteSubKey method. I was able to do this in
Win CE 5.0 and .net 2.0, but now I am switching to win CE 6.0 and I
get UnauthorizedAccessException. Is there a way to change the user
access settings for this key? There is a SetAccessControl method but
it is not supported in CE. Any other method that I can use?

I am also not able to delete the key and its parent key using a
registry editor tool, however I am able to delete the grand-parent
key...

Thanks
