RegKey Deletion!!

NTDEV
1

Can you delete the following Subkey from registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
hive.??

\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root
<file:>

I tried to delete the subkey , it keep saying error in deleting the key.

I tried to delete by programmatically, still no success…

char* pChar = " \SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_XXDRIVER
<file:> ";
LONG lRetValue = RegDeleteKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,pChar);
if (lRetValue == ERROR_SUCCESS)
AfxMessageBox(“Key Deleted Successfully”);
else
{

LPVOID lpMsgBuf;
FormatMessage(
FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
NULL,
GetLastError(),
0, // Default language
(LPTSTR) &lpMsgBuf,
0,
NULL );
// Display the string.
AfxMessageBox(“ERROR: Error in deleting Key”);
// Free the buffer.
LocalFree( lpMsgBuf );
}

I am using WindowsNt 4.0 .
Thanks, Binay

This key would normally have permissions preventing deletion. Use REGEDT32 (or
programmatically) to alter the permissions so that you have write/delete access.

In addition, RegDeleteKey() deletes only keys that have no subkeys in
NT/2K/XP.

Menu item: Security/Permissions. Do not use REGEDIT – must use REGEDT32.

RE: [ntdev] RegKey Deletion!!Are you using REGEDIT or REGEDT32? REGEDIT
does not have option to change permissions, REGEDT32 does. Also, if you are
going to delete it programmatically, you must first recursively delete all
subkeys and values first.
