Re: WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

I know how stupid this will sound, but how do I create a key? What is it? I am not very good with Java code

One more thing to note. On 64-bit systems you need to create a key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Prefs. I didn't even have to change any permissions to make the message go away, just create the key.

Just had the same problem myself, and found that to fix it I had to do what you suggested, but I also had to manually create a "Prefs" key under JavaSoft too, as mentioned here:

well well, 4 years later, I came across the same problem.

here's my solution:

open regedit.exe ( really hate Microsoft and their regedit.reg).

change the permission of key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft.....Right click the icon, then change the permission to full operation.
