HowTo delete a ghost registry key
Hi all,
I have a problem with the windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{fe982967-a45b-4e24-afda-1e1705aa99a"}
this key appears only when enumerating the child keys of its parent, but I fail to:
- Open the key (I get the "file not found" error both in regedit and in code)
- Change the key's ACL
- Take ownership of the key
The OS is Windows 7 x64 and I'm trying to perform the above actions with the administrative rights. I would like to delete it!
Does anybody have an idea about how to deal with this issue?
thanks!
Francesco
