How do I (permanently) delete registry entries

Having recently joined the forum and having read the various postings about hijack I downloaded hijackthis and was amazed to see how much rubbish there was.

I have got rid of most of it but there are a number of entries which will not go away.

If I fix them with hijack this and rescan they go away but on reeboot they all come back - minus the actual descriptions - leaving an entry such as {15AD4789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6}

Looking at the registry I find the entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the sub directory WinCtlAdx.Installer.

I have tried deleting that entry from the registry which seems to work but again on reeboot it returns.

All together I have 14 similar items that I would like to get rid of.

Can anyone tell me how to do it please?
