Cannot delete registry key
I am running XP Pro with service pack 2. I have a "RunOnce" registry key trying to execute a DJTOPR1150.EXE. I have deleted the executeable from my "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\djtopr1150.exe", but I am unable to delete the registry key. I have logged in as Administrator in Safe Mode and run regedt32. This apprears to remove the key, but as soon as I log in as myself it is still there (or has been recreated some how). Any help would be appreciated!!!

I should add that I am running AdAware SE Pro and it continually finds but cannot remove the registry entry. Here is my HJT log

Boot into safe mode and delete;
C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking< folder
C:\Program Files\Windows SyncroAd< folder
c:\temp< folder contents
C:\DOCUME~1\Peter\LOCALS~1\Temp< folder contents
Make sure you have hidden files\folders un-hidden. Delete the contents of those temp folders regularly, especially the hidden folder, as it is a prime target for virus' because of it's hidden attribute.
Reboot normally then post a new log.
Neither Syncroas nor P2P Networking existed in Add/Remove Programs
Ran HJT flagged the recommended and FIXED, did a rescan and the four "04-HKLM" had NOT been removed.
Booted in safe mode, P2P folder and SyncroAd folder did not exist, deleted all files in LOCAL~1\temp

Are you hitting *fix checked* after putting a tick in the left hand box after the scan?
Fix all those again with HJT, reboot normally & delete the relevant files\folders.
"Those folders\files do exist as they show up in your log." Is incorrect. HJT aquires its logs from the registry. It is the registry entrys that I cannot delete, not the files. The files and folders were deleted a LONG time ago. They do NOT show up in add/remove.
"Are you hitting *fix checked* after putting a tick in the left hand box after the scan?
Fix all those again with HJT, reboot normally & delete the relevant files\folders." Been there, done that, three times within this thread.
My posting is that I cannot delete registry keys. I've used HJT, regedit, regedt32,
Fixit Utilities, and Symantec registry repair but nothing will remove the entries permanently. Booting in safemode seems to work, but the entries are back as soon as I login normally.
Have to make certain . It's usually the simple things that stop us.
Have you tried a registry editor like reglite or regalyzer?
You never answered if you had all Internet Explorer windows closed when doing the fix.
As I wasn't able to get my problem solved, I reinstalled the OS and restored my data files from tape. I spent more than 10 hours tring to "fix" the problem and it only took me 6 hours to do a full install and restore.
I do want to thank all those who faithfully tried to help. You time and efforts are gratefully acknowledged. I will be pleased to recommend this site to those having problems.
