Cannot delete some records even with the hidden administrator account.

I am trying to delete some files from the registry on USB devices but I can't seem to do anything.
So far, I've changed ownership of regedit.exe to the administrator and also the folder to administrator approval, but I still get the "error when deleting the keys".

I have read several forums on this subject, but the only response I've read is to allow approval (full control) to the folder in question, then delete. It works for others, but I always get "error when deleting key".

I also disabled the UAC.

All solutions?

Just found a solution that has helped me remove these keys for unplugged HW.
(Kudos to Sc_si here on MSA)

Open a cmd window:

Enter: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

then start devmgmt.msc (do not use compmgmt.msc)

go to discover that select Show hiden devices

You can see the list of all material never pluged into the computer (gray color), then just uninstall

to hide the Ribbon of unplugged material set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 0

  • Program runs in the hidden administrator account, but not the administrator account

    I have been using Altium Designer for about 5 months. One day, I tried Eun and got the error "dxp.exe has stopped working.  So, after trying a re-boot.  I have reinstalled the software.  At the end of installation, I get the message "the system administrator has set policies that prevent this facility." The installation then said that the installation has been completed successfully. I tried: unlock all files in the installation directory, run the installation as an administrator, the installation running on the hidden administrator account. Turn off UAC.

    The installation leaves me with a program which runs in hidden administrator but not nromal administrator.  Even if the install ation was made as normal anministrator.

    I am running Windows 7 Home premium, so the control of local security is not available.

    Thank you for your help ITKnowledge24.  Your post helped me to find parts of the program that I would never know that existed.

    It turns out that my problem was in two parts.  First what killed the software is primarily a print unrelated dirver.  (go figure)  Installation errors were caused because I downloaded the version recient most of the manufacturer's Web site.  When I reinstalled using the old version, the installation was without error.  The software starts to run correctly when the printer driver has been removed.  It seems that windows security was only a Kipper.

  • the hidden administrator account is hidden by default, must it be left enabled and protected by password?

    original title: Hidden Administrator

    Hi, the hidden administrator account is hidden by default, must it be left enabled and protected by password? or must it be left empty without password as default. It is advisable to use this every day as the previous version of windows that you are running as an administrator, or another account should be created?

    These two methods are the same and have the same effect and the same security protection, but which is better?

    If the built-in administrator should be enabled or disabled is really your choice.
    If you decide to keep activated:
    1. give it a password (make a written copy and not to lose).
    2. it MUST not be used on a daily basis.
    3. should your emergency backup Administrator account ONLY.
    4. you must create an account admin with you as an administrator.
    5. the choice is yours. Others will say that you must open a regular user account and use it for every day. If you agree, do.

  • How do I open a session with the local administrator account in Windows 8

    Hello

    About two weeks ago, I bought my laptop Dell Inspiron 15 inch 7000 Series that pre-installed with Win8 Japanese worm.

    Tried to download the Win8.1 from the store to Win, but asked me to identify a user with administrative privileges.

    When I booted up my laptop, it only prompted me to my Windows account (created this account I've first turning on my laptop).

    How can I change to log to the local administrator account when starting my laptop?

    Hi Ravikaran,
     
    -What exactly happens when you try to delete the administrator account? You receive an error message or error code? If Yes, indicate the same.

    You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from complete this procedure.

    See the following articles for more information on the deletion of the account:
