Delete Registry All Sub Keys Only

  • 0

Hi

I am trying to delete all sub keys within a sub key with a .reg file but not sure how, I can enter a “-” symbol in front of the registry, but I don’t know what it is after the key, I just wanted to delete all the sub keys. Any ideas as I have tried wile card “*” at the end but it didn’t work.

eg: HKLM\software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\Print\Provider\…….

Delete all sub keys after provider but leave Provider .

Thanks

      You can create a REG-File like this:

      –SNIP–

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKLM\software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\Print\Provider\Something]

      –SNIP–

      save the file and doubleclick on it.
      It will delete Something and all it’s subkeys.
      The last given key, in this case, Something, will also be deletet.
