"Twayne" wrote in message ... 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. --- Leonard Grey Errare Humanum Est Security Tips for Everyone, from PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2334856,00.asp Larry wrote: 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. "Shenan Stanley" wrote in message ... Larry wrote: I have Administrative privileges and I ran jv16powertools to cleanout unneeded registry entries. It showed twelve(12) instances of "Flash9b.ocx", but would not let me delete 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. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
