People have wondered how to remove keys and values from the registry simply by importing a registry file. 

 

All that needs to be done to achieve this is the insert a hyphen, -, in front of the "H" in HKEY.......

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft]

would delete the entire Microsoft key from this location.

 

In order to just delete a value the syntax is to set the value equal to Hyphen, -.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft]
"VALUE"=-

Would delete "VALUE" from this area of the registry.
