I still believe running Process Monitor will give you all the ACCESS DENIED and Failures accessing File System and Registry. – Vivek Kumbhar Mar 18 '10 at 19:16

Check the event viewer to see if there are more specific errors. This might be a permission error. If you haven't already, please try an account with administrator privileges to see if you still get the error. If you don't then that means the account you are using doesn't have the proper permissions.

Second, if you don't want to have to enter a username and password you should enable anonymous access on your web site in IIS.

If you find any error messages in the event viewer, please post them, because this will allow us to find a more specific solution to your problem.

The error indicates you don't have enough permission on the registry. The best way to resolve this error is run procmon and look for filter for Failure.. you will need IUSR and IWAM Read and Execute permission on those registry keys.
