Answer 1

I am receiving the same error when automating IE, but instead of fixing, I worked around.

  Label1:
         If myIe Is Nothing Then
             Set myIe = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 
         End If

         myIe.Navigate URL:=imdbLink

    For Each link In myIe.document.Links
         If Right(link.href, 9) = "/keywords" And Left(link.href, 26) = "http://www.imdb.com/title/" Then
                    mKPlot = link.href 'ERROR GENERATES FROM THIS, SOMETIMES...
         End If
    next link



errHandler:
    If Err.Number = 70 Then
        Debug.Print "permission denied for: |" & title & "|"

        myIe.Quit
        Set myIe = Nothing

        Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:10")

        Resume Label1:

    End If

Not the sleek registry-fix you were imagining, but it works for me.
