Registry Edit Problem, ripping my hair out here!!

[Guest]

Hi

 

Right can someone tell me what is going off here!!

 

im trying to set up a gpo policy to stop startup items starting up upon user login

im using windows server 2008 r2, im using a preference gpo then the registry items column

 

im hoping to delete the registry keys to stop the programs from running

 

ive attached a picture of 2 registry edits both are showing on the same system and not a network registry

 

 

the regedit on the left is showing a registry opened from ccleaner -> tools -> startup then right clicked a startup item then open in regedit

 

the one on the right is showing me using a command prompt to open regedit from the same node

 

now when im setting my gpo to delete items from the left hand regedit. its not delete these regsitry items. and im guessing its seeing what is in the right hand regedit!!!

 

What the funk is going of!!??? im ripping my hair out. 2 lots of different regedits on the same computer??? i thought it wasnt possible!!

 

I hope you can help me

Right ive found something but im still stuck!

 

im using windows 7 Professional 64bit clients in which i want the gpo to delete the keys

 

if i run the 32bit "regedit" or "regedt32" they dont show but if i use the "wow64" or 64bit version of "regedit" or "regedt32" the keys show that i want to delete

 

the left hand window was opened up using "regedit" 64bit and the right window was opened up using "regedit" 32bit

 

how do i get a gpo to delete a registry key from the 64bit version of "regedit" or "regedt32" rather than the 32bit??

or does anyone know of a script that will delete these keys so i can stick it in the start up scripts of my GPO

baring in mind that the keys i want to delete exist in regedit 64bit version

32-bit applications add keys under...

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\[color="#FF0000"]Wow6432Node[/color]\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

 

64-bit applications add keys under...

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
