Stephen- If those extra registry settings are truly the result of some custom ADMs that are no longer available, then it is a bit tough to get just them out of the registry.pol file that holds those settings. There are a few ways to go about this. 1st, create a new custom ADM that exposes those settings for the purpose of removing them. 2nd, edit the registry.pol file directly using a Unicode-capable editor and removing them manually (problematic because unless you remove the right stuff, you can easily corrupt this file). 3rd, delete the GPO and start over-obviously less than favorable. Unless you are really comfortable going into that .pol file, I think your best bet is #1.
