First, Pleawse let us know all the name of the registry entries which are not able to modified. As the Goodle Update.exe, you can try the methods in this link:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-remove-annoying-googleupdateexe-background-process-after-installing-google-chrome/As other registry entry, you can try the following steps to change the permission for the registry entry. 1. Right-click on the registry entry, such as “Run” and choose Permissions. On the Security tab, verify that Administrator, System and your user account have full control of this key.2. For Administrators, System and your user account, select the Allow check box for Full Control.3. Click Apply. 4. Now, you should be able to modify the registry key.If you still not able to modify the registry entry. You can try the subinacl.msi file from the following link and save the installation patch onto the Desktop: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en#AffinityDownloads 2. Please go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination Folder during the installation. Later we will use this tool to reset the permission settings on the current machine. 4. Click the "Start" Button, in the "Start Search" bar, type: "notepad" (without quotes) and press Enter. 5. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad window: @echo offsubinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=fsubinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=fsubinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=fsubinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=fsubinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=fsubinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=fsubinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=fsubinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f @Echo =========================@Echo Finished. @Echo =========================@pause6. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose "Save" when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file name and choose "Desktop" from the left panel as the save location.7. Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run as administrator." 8. You will see a DOS-like window processing.NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished, you will be prompted with the message: "Finished, press any key to continue". Then you can test your issue again.Good luck! John
