Quickie: How to delete registry using reg file

June 6th, 2014 No comments

I always used .reg files to import registry keys and values. I started to think if it’s possible to delete registry key or value using .reg file.

To create key and value you can use following .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\test]
“test_value”=dword:00000010

 

To delete only value “test_value” you can run following .reg file (minus sign after the equal sign):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\test]
“test_value”=

 

To delete whole key you can run following .reg file (minus sign in front of key name):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\test]

 

That’s all for now,
