Angry Can't Delete a Reg Key

Very strange... I wanted to add Destinator in the HKLM\Software\HTC\Smatouch, to make it work with the zoombar. I did it via Advanced Config 3.3 -> Menu -> More Settings -> Smartouch, and it did create the relevant Key and values. Unfortunately, Destinator declined to co-operate with zoombar (either as scroll or zoom), so I decided to remove the key.

However when I tried to delete it from Advanced Config, it stayed there. I went to the SKTools registry editor, but although I deleted the values (WheelCount, etc.), the key could not be deleted. I tried a couple of other editors without success.

How can I delete this key? Is there a way to export the registry, modify it in the desktop PC, and then import it back to the TD2?

I have a similar problem.

I've installed Opera 9.7 and tried with Advanced Configuration Tool to make the new Opera rotate.

Now I cannot delete the registry keys that Advanced Configuration Tool has made.

I've also tried Total Commander, PHM Registry Editor and CeRegEditor but those keys cannot be deleted.
It seems those Opera keys are now protected by the OS.

Any solution?

I've tried CeRegistryEditor and still couldn't delete it.
I can create new keys and delete them with CeRegistryEditor, but I cannot delete those Opera keys.

I've also tried the option "Tools>Unlock registry" as the website says but the problem is not the registry access but those specific Opera reg keys.
