Delete registry key or value via a CMD script?
- by Derek
How do I edit an already-in-production .cmd script file, in order to have the script delete a certain registry key in the Windows registry?
Firstly, is this even possible, and secondly (if that's not possible), could I create a .reg file and execute that file from with the .cmd file?
From within the .cmd script, it is not working:
del "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\SampleKey]"
This method hasn't worked for me either:
cmd "\\networkdrive\regfiles\deleteSampleKey.reg"
Then from within the .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
]
