|I *have* to get rid of them.

Ben,

You can connect to the registry of another computer one key at a time by
using Regedit. There is a choice in the 'Registry' menu which will enable
you to open another computer's hive. You might be able to connect to the
problem computer's registry remotely and save the keys one at a time from
that remote (but still on your network) computer.

I also have a VB program somewhere which would allow you to save the keys
one at a time to a file. It uses the Windows API to access the registry. I
would begin to think that CF cfregistry can do one key at a time, too. It
probably uses the same methods.

The "baby steps" method would seem to be the key to your issue, since the
computer can obviously access the registry with the Win32 APIs.

Any other thoughts?
