Delete registry key from batchfile

[Lars-Erik Østerud]

Adding/changing existing registry keys can be done with a shortcut
that runs regedit.exe with a .reg file as parameter.

BUT how do I delete a registry key automaticly from a shortcut or from
a batch file? Any easy way do do this (need to delete a key after
start, to prevent a problem when logging out later)

Open a Command Prompt window and enter REG /? REG is a command line Registry Editor and will allow you to add/remove/change Registry entries. You can either do it with a single command line line, or as a command in a BAT file.

ton of info ,but short and sweet ?
[HKEY.....].... adds an entry
[-HKEY.....]..... deletes an entry
