Hmm, wondering if it's a permissions issue. On my system I can't create a test key (using RegEdt32) under the key you're using even as an admin.

Maybe this will help: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/56fed319-a532-46a4-a384-fd795998c4a3/regedit-permissions-access-denied-or-error-while-deleting-key-even-as-admin
