I am trying to remove some keys (registry Keys) for an item that is no longer installed on my laptop. I am running Vista Home Premium. I was able to remove all of the other related entries but I have three of these related to a USB device I tried to use.

Change the security for the registry key. Click on the Security tab, then Advanced and take ownership of it. Once you have ownership change the permissions so you have full control and you should be able to delete it.
