It says I don't have permission to modify these keys. I typed sudo but it just made fun of me.
Anyone know how I can get back at it?

How to get permissions to modify registry keys in System\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages
What have you actually tried? It should be as simply as using an Administrator user to change the permissions. – Ramhound – 2015-08-07T12:19:42.977
Ok it works if I change the Owner/permissions on the direct parent folder, but I've got about 3 dozen of these registry keys to change, all in different folders. Is there a better way than that? Or a fast way to do that – Veta – 2015-08-07T12:32:59.500
You write a small program or a batch script. What problem are you trying to solve by changing the permission of these keys anyways? – Ramhound – 2015-08-07T12:34:37.200
This one: http://superuser.com/questions/952315/error-1327-invalid-drive-windows-8/952335#952335 I don't know batch scripting, I was using a search and replace program which worked for 99% of the keys.

My mistake, I copied to the URL box. My problem is the question in that thread. I recombined a partitioned drive and some registry keys still reference the old E:\ drive. Since that doesn't exist I can't install or uninstall these programs. I thought I had uninstalled everything but I missed LibreOffice. And months later I find I actually want to use LibreOffice.
The search and replace program I found solved the LibreOffice issue but shed light that I had many other E:\ drive errors and now I want to resolve those. But I need permission... – Veta – 2015-08-07T12:58:03.260
You can use something like CCleaner to do a recursive permission change on a registry key – Ramhound – 2015-08-07T13:51:01.557
