Removing Registry entries in Batch

**gui_m** · September 2, 2003

Is is possible to remove registry entries, such as the ones in HKey Local Machine >...>Run to stop programs from starting up?

Or even better, to configure msconfig automatically??

thx for the help

you put a Minus (-) like bellow

;Speed-up Access to AVI Media Files

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}]

if you wanted to add just take off the Minus

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}]

Sorry, not really experienced with BATCH/Registry entries, but what would I do to remove individual entries, like these to here:

[HKEY...]
Entry 1
Entry 2

I know that i can put a - sign before HKEY, but that would also delete Entry 2, and only want to delete entry 1. How do I do this?? thx ppl

Set the value of the entry to a minus sign:

;Removes MSN v6 from startup
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-
