We have reason to manually remove office fromwork PCs when patches won't
install. The KB article below has the steps for that but take forever to do.

Is there a way to make a batch file that can remove the keys and use the
wildcards as listed without specifying each key individually? I can handle
deleting the folders but don't know how to do registry keys via a wild card
character or if it's even possible.

Thanks.

No, there are no wildcard facilities for the usual registry editing
programs. This is just as well - having wildcards would be a recipe for
disaster.

About removing MS Office efficiently from some PCs - best to ask the experts
in one of the many MS Office newsgroups. You are currently posting in a
Windows newsgroup.

Here are two methods. Take one or both.
