Removing reg keys with .reg

[durex]

Ive found how to remove reg entries via batch files (reg delete), and I know that you can remove registry hives in .reg files by placing a '-" in front of the hive name (ie: [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi\ShellEx].

If its even possible, what would the syntax be if you wanted to delete a key, such as a sting value, using a reg file?

Thanks.

For deleting a value, you have to put a "-" as well. For example :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ASFFile\shell\play]"LegacyDisable"=-
