I'm trying to write a quick app to modify some registry keys. When I'm browsing via RegEdit, I can modify and delete the keys with no problems.
But when I try to use RegistryKey.DeleteSubKey()
it throws an UnauthorizedAccessException
.
Is there any way to gain the privileges to do this? Also, why would there be a problem if my user account obviously has access to make the changes?
Edit:
Here's some code
RegistryKey reg;
try
{
reg = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(BaseKey);
reg.DeleteSubKey("{" + Item.Guid.ToString() + "}");
}
catch
{
return false;
}
Try this instead, open it initially as read/write instead of read-only:
RegistryKey reg;
try
{
reg = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(BaseKey, true); //<--over here!
reg.DeleteSubKey("{" + Item.Guid.ToString() + "}");
}
catch
{
return false;
}
