Click to expand...

Right-click on the key, click Permissions...
then choose the type of user you are and then
click the Full Control box and finally, the OK
button. You should be able to delete the values
under that key now.

You only need to be concerned with CurrentControlSet

To display hidden devices, non-Plug and Play devices, and devices not
attached to the computer (commonly known as "ghosted" or "phantom" devices)
Save the following two lines as a file then execute.

--------------------------setdev.bat---------------------
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
---------------------------------------------------------

Then, View|Show Hidden Devices to remove or reconfigure these devices. Do
not edit the registry.

Hi Dmitry,

In answer to your question, Dave Patrick is right - if you can, it is
far preferable to deal with this matter using the supplier user
interface (ie: device manager in control panel0 On win2k+ you may need
to 'unhide' devices to get the full picture, as he described in his posting.

If you must do this by editing the registry, you need a clear picture in
your mind of what is going on - have a read of
http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au/mansd.htm as a starting point. In Win2k+ you
will find additional content in the registry not mention in my article -
it primarily deals with the situation with NT4.

As Dave Patrick also pointed out, you only need to worry about
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet. CurrentControlSet is a 'hard link' (ie:
it doesn't exist as such, CurrentControl Set is an alias pointing to one
of the ControlSets - ControlSet001, ControlSet002 etc..) which is
currently in use by the system. If you really want to know which set is
currently in use you can find out by examining the key
HKLM/System/Select/Current - the data value here tells you which
ControlSet is currently aliased as 'CurrentControlSet' You will also
find the keys here for which set (if any) has failed, which is the
default set and which is the 'LastKnownGood'

When you make changes to CurrentControlSet, after the next successful
system reboot, the changes will also be replicated in the
'LastKnownGood' control set - so there is no need to edit their content,
and even if you do, you changes will be overwritten at next reboot with
whatever is in the CurrentControlSet.

Hope this info helps.

Calvin.
 
I Saved
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
lines as a bat file then executed. Then, View|Show Hidden Devices and
removed the device, but the DeviceDesc and Mfg items are still there!

Thanks Tom Lake, Dave Patrick and Calvin for your replies.
There is no Permissions after Right-clicking on the key in my regedit. Where
to right-click on the key to click Permissions?

The brand name disappeared from registry after rebooting!
