I have a WinXP machine, sp1.
I want to delete certain registry information in a file to the Windows
Registry.
The content of my file is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.0
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\HotKeysCmds]

But it does not work, can help? Thanks in advanced.
Sincerely,
david dot tam at aruplab dot commerical
thanks again.

Do you have permission to delete that key?

I have permission to do all. I am the administrator. I can delete it from
GUI regedit.exe.

Oh, more information about my question of deleting key by merging reg file, I
can do the deleting by using GUI regedit.exe. I am the administrator.

Could it be an empty lines issue?
Required line1: File ID (eg "REGEDIT4")
line2: (blank)
line3: (your delete key data)
line4: (blank)

I also favor REGEDIT4 and ANSI format REG files.
