It appears that the regsitry keys are owned by SYSTEM. On W2K3 it's services.exe 
(haven't checked the other OS's) that creates/modifies these registry keys. So 
they can't be deleted by simply doing a RegDeleteKey in the tests.

Any idea what the best approach is to programatically change the permissions (or 
owner) of these keys so we're able to delete them?
