If you want to remove a key and all it's underlying values then you'll need
to construct your .reg file with a - minus sign in front of the key you want
to remove.
An example file to remove a file association .zzz from HKCR
-----------------Begin File-----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zzz]
----------------End File-------------
(note the minus sign in front of HKEY)
If you need to delete only certain values, for example the string value
"InfoTip"="Contains zzz files"
Then put a minus sign after the equals sign without "quotes", something like
"InfoTip"=-
So your .reg file would look like
----------------Begin File------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zzz]
"InfoTip"=-
----------------End File-------------
regedit /s filename.reg to import silently
