Folders won't DELETE from Registry????

[MKIII]

Hello all,

There are some empty folders in the Registry that won't delete and I don't know how to get around it?

I tried starting the computer in safe mode but it still won't delete??

It's a HP machine with XPSP2.

Any thoughts???

Thanks!!

Folders in registry ?? are you talking about a keys which have long names like hex values etc..

you could try ccleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/

They are just EMPTY folders in the registy that says: Cannot open x2VCD: error while opening key.

That's it! There is absolutely nothing in them??

I even tried it in safe mode to no avail??

Oh, I've tried ccleaner and quite a few other scanners, nothing has worked thus far.

empty keys, you mean? don't worry about them... just looka t the overall size of the registry and see how insignificant a couple of null entries are. But cannot delete ANYTHING from reg? Post the keys [export them..]
