isn't interesting how small
minded people take ownership
of microsoft's operating system
and have the balls to persuade others
to disregard the manufacturer's
recommendations, i.e. microsoft:

You can say that again; it would be comedic if they weren't spreading
misinformation under the guise of being know-alls and having the only
opinion on earth that matters, even in the face of volumes of evidence
and experiences to the contrary. When a small mind is a closed mind,
it will never grow as evidenced by some of these "guru" types who have
had exactly ONE experience in their background and, more often and
likely, NONE.

Actually, /why/ you want to remove the registry entries is very
important..to the many of us who actually care about users' welfare
vs. simply handing out information which may or may not do you any
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.

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.
