Well, I was able to find those keys with the second script, but the delete part needs some work to catch them. Good thing that isn't the issue I'm trying to solve. ;-)
Here's the fixed version:
use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter=>'/');
$| = 1;
sub process_hidden
{
my ($root, $tgt) = @_;
print "HIDDEN REGISTRY KEY FOUND:\n$root/$tgt\n\n";
print "Delete or Keep? [D/k] ";
$_=<>;
chomp;
if ( ! /k/i )
{
delete $Registry->{$root}->{$tgt};
}
}
sub check_content
{
for ( keys %{$Registry->{$root}} )
{
&check_content("$root/$_") if exists $Registry->{"$root/$_/"};
&process_hidden($root,$_) if (length($_) > 256
|| index($_,"\0") >= 0);
}
}
&check_content("CUser/TEST/");
Also, my regedit had no problem deleting that key ... perhaps that is an old bug? The page you reference is from 1999 ...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
