Solved Delete Protected Sub Registry Key With Batch File

  • 1

Hi

Trying to delete the following registry key with a batch file but I can’t even delete in the registry editor. Any ideas on how to write a batch file to do it, maybe it need to change permission also.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\SWD\PRINTENUM\

There are about 8 sub keys under PRINTENUM such as {1974F44D-A278-……} that I want to be deleted.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SWD\PRINTENUM

Same as above.

Thank you in advance if anyone can help me with a script.

      For individuals it is:
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\SWD\PRINTENUM]
      “first one”=-
      “second one”=-

      …and so on for each sub-key. The path to PRINTENUM remains in place.
