Thank you again Noel for your help. Having to date always shied away from making changes to the registry I have been a little nervous about proceeding without being sure of all the steps I need to take.
I followed your recipe so far but was intending to write seeking some reassurance before proceeding further, so I therefore decided to take screenshots of the various boxes as I moved through them.
I first saved the reg key to a reg file.
Screenshot 1

Then I right-clicked on Legacy SPLDR and selected Permissions. This gave me

Then clicked on Advanced, which gave me this:

Then I clicked on the Owner tab. This gave me this:

Adminstrators is the owner, so I ticked "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" at the bottom and clicked OK. Then nothing happened.
I think it did when I first worked my way through the routine but it was at this point that I became unsure of how to proceed, and having decided to retrace to check the steps, I inadvertently clicked on "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" from the previous screen, and found I could not get any further after I moved to the Owner tab, ticked "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects". and then OK.
I was and still am puzzled by the fact that in the "Permissions for Legacy SPLDR" box (screenshot 2), some of the tick boxes for Allow or Deny are preticked and greyed out. This applies for whichever of the group or user names is highlighted, including Administrators
Yesterday, I was also unclear where to find the 0000 subkey. However after sleeping on it, this morning it dawned on me that to get to that subkey, I needed to expand the entry for Legacy SPLDR in the registry editor screen shown in the first screenshot above. Then the rest of your routine became clear, and I completed it, I think, successfully. Anyhow I reran MGADiag.exe and now append the resulting diagnostic report.
