Unable to delete Reg Keys

Posted also in Registry Section............

I'm going through registry deleting all occurance of the word "panda"
relating
to the AV product. However there are certain instances where this is
impossible i.e when it hits "LEGACY_.....". In XP one could change
permissions to enable delete (right click of mouse). How is this done in
2000
???

You need to run regedt32.exe.

To avoid duplication of effort, please cross-post your next
query rather than multi-posting. You do this by placing the
names of ***all*** newsgroups into the address field,
separated by semicolons.

You really should not go into the registry to delete these Legacy keys. The
proper place to do this is in the Device Manager. In there you View | Show
Hidden Devices. Then you will see the Panda stuff you want to remove under
Non-Plug and Play Drivers.
