There is no simple way to do this, although if you are really brave you could play around with the "regtool" program that DJ wrote. It allows you to add and delete registry keys. Typing "regtool" on a line by itself should provide you with enough help to do this, but be careful! regedit is probably a little safer since it is graphical and you can see exactly what you're deleting. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
