You haven’t said what is preventing the deletion, so I suggest you download and run HijackThis on the left here http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html
The rogue Run key should appear as an 04 entry. If it does, put a tick alongside it and click Fix. If you recognise any other ‘rogue’ entries, put a tick against these as well.

Hi,
In your case the best way to verify that your system is not infected anymore by malicious registry keys or infected files is probably malwarebytes.
Do a complete scan and it will detect your key in question and you will be able to quarantine it and delete it. For free.
Otherwise,
The best way to clean a messy infected windows system, with years of success, is to use a Linux based USB Antivirus like supplied in the following link:
CD http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=82163
or USB http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=94935
For sure the best thing is to never get infected. But the best way to remove malware/virus/spyware/worm/trojan/rootkit is:
Cleaning at an elevated level of control on files. Otherwise you will pass hours clicking in front of your windows workstation while your files are revised by a Hacker? Forget it, reboot with the USB thumb drive from BIOS. Some old machine cant boot from USB so you need a CD or DVD.
Linux at the service of windows! Perfect match.
Good Luck in your PC Experience
Best Regards,
POMM

@Pierre-Olivier
The malware is cleaned by malwarebytes and that is the only registry file that was retained so I have decided to manually delete it and it gave an error (the one I have mention). I will try later the suggestion of Burr and also your Avira suggestion. Thank you so much for your help. I will post my update within today PH time or by tomorrow.

Unless you have applied virus removal successfully, try the following:
Always disable starting these unwanted "creatures" in Autoruns (Sysinternals). Then inspect the virus in Process Explorer, then kill it and clean your computer...
