What can I say?  "You saved my a##!"  ;-))

I couldn't find the Edit/Permissions, that you mentioned, in Normal
REGEDIT.  I figured that W2K had a "more advanced" version of Regedit under
a different name, so I did a search for "Reg*.*" and found something called
Regedt32.  That was the one that had Edit/Permissions.

Regedt32 is now a permanent fixture in my RUN app.  <vBg>

What a "Dog and pony show"!  After about a half hour of setting and
resetting the permissions, I finally (out of desperation) logged off and
logged back on as 'Administrator' and checked the permissions.  I had to
make sure that the Delete permission was set to work specifically on the
GoBack key *_AND_*, it worked!

Can't understand why my User_name couldn't work on the key; it has FULL
Administrator rights / permissions / privileges.  I had to explicitly log
on as Administrator.

I downloaded it and was quite willing to use it in the event that your
Edit/Permissions in RegEd did not work.  But, I was successful in deleting
the key (eventually), so I sent Roxizap.exe to the recycle bin.  I suspect
that the file is specifically for the Easy Media software...  Also, since
Roxio sold their interest in GoBack to (that Damnable) Symantec, they're
not likely to be supporting it any longer.

This may take some time to find the solution...

I did as you have suggested.  What, specifically, should I be looking for?
I see some yellow exclamation marks and some red "X"es...

           Thanks greatly ... Gerald
