Unfortunately, this article fails to mention that this key has permissions
set so that only the Built-in account SYSTEM has permission to modify or
delete it.
To delete this key, you must first modify the permissions so that you have
appropriate permissions. In regedit:
Right click on the key (left pane of registry editor)
Select Permissions
Select the Everyone entry
Click on the box in the Full Control row and the Allow column
Click OK
Now you should be able to delete that key.
