I have an entry in
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet004\Enum\Storage\Volume\{some key}\UpperFilters
I can't delete this entry from the registry... I get "Error Deleting Values"
Unable to delete all specified values.... not idea why I get this error and
why I cannot delete this entry from the registry. Could someone help me
with this?

First, why do you need to delete this key?

check that your account has the correct permissions - select the key in
regedit and right click and select permissions. If your regedit does not
have this option then use regedit32. You you will probably need "Full
control" to delete the key.

one more thing..... i think the 'Enum....' entries are created at boot from
other configuration values, at least that is what i have found when trying
to delete
HKLM_SYSTEM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\Svchost\*
instead I had to delete
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost\*
after a re-boot, the 'Enum...' entry was gone.
