Regedit and PsExec: how to edit and delete every key in the Windows registry
Published: 18 Aug 2015 | Author: Mentor
If you think that running the regedit as administrator then you can edit or delete every key present in the Windows registry then you are in error.
Even running the regedit as administrator there are some low livel keys that can't be edited or deleted, trying we have this explicit error:
Access Denied
or:
Error while deleting key
If we have to edit or delete one of these untouchable keys we can start the regedit through a PsExec:
psexec -s -i regedit
