I have a entry in the registry that I cannot delete. It deals with wintools. I ran Ad-aware/Spybot and both programs find the entry but can't remove it. So I tried to remove it manually and it says:

Cannot delete LEGACY_WINTOOLSSVC: error while deleting key.

Any ideas?

Win XP home.

You may have at some time installed wintools and uninstalled it. The reg. entry may be left over. Try the safe mode.

Please post back within 24 hours or I will delete the post from my follow up list. Thanks.

Changing the premissions on the key worked. Thanks
