RegDeleteKey not working in NT

MSDN indicates that you can't delete an open key, so opening it for all access before deleting it shouldn't work anyway.
I think I might have found something, apparently in 95 / 98 when you delete a key it deletes all subkeys, but in NT you have to do it recursively for each branch, so that may explain why it doesn't work.
Thanks anyway,
