Automatically Deleting a Registry Key

In Category: Registry

Normally you cannot automatically delete registry keys from reg file. But there is a way... Simply include a minus sign inside the left bracket before the main key. For example. If you want to delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ Office \\ 8.0 \\ Common \\ Assistants, your regfile would simply look like: REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\8.0\\Common\\Assistants] This would delete that key and any below it.
