Be careful of the 163.com spam gang & comcast.net who are both using these

This will bomb as not accetpable. If you change it to currentuser if you
have admin success it shoudl proceed without problem.

Sub Test3()
Dim regKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey =
Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine

Try
regKey.OpenSubKey("console",
Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree,
System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights.Delete).ToString()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("The specified access to the key was not
possible")
End Try

End Sub
 
Thank you.
