Deleting Registry Settings during cleanup.cmd

[chyronn]

hi all, i have two things, both concerning registry settings/tweaks

the first is in the title. is there a specific command for deleting a reg entry in much the same way the runonceex adds them in? i'm silently installing Paint Shop Pro 9 and i have this annoying right-click context menu entry "Browse with paint shop pro 9"

i've isolated the reg key (which wouldn't do anything since that key is already in place) what i want to know is how to use this key to delete the entry.

second thing, is there an entry for "show folder contents while dragging" in folder options?

i know i might get flamed for not searching properly but a search of registry settings yields 100s of pages which don't seem to answer my fixes. if anyone could either point me in the right direction, i'd be grateful. thanks

Use these in a *.reg file .....

To remove an entire key place a minus symbol in front of the key path

eg.

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\RemoveThisKey]

To remove a value from a key place a minus symbol after the equals symbol of the value

eg.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\RemoveThisValue]user=-

alternately, you can do it from a *.cmd file.....

To remove an entire key:

REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\RemoveThisKey /f

To remove a value:

REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\RemoveThisValue /v user /f

"show folder contents while dragging" ??? doesnt XP do this by default?

If not, i have no idea how to set it, most likely a reg tweak though.
