That works too... Just that the - will delete the entire key and all =
values under it.  The vb script will delete specific values.  Some =
people call values keys, so I though I'd go that route.  If he wants to =
blow tho who key away, the registry script is an easier way to go.

How about exporting the key you want to delete, remove any values in the
.reg file and put a dash in front of the key you want to delete as shown
below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Then add it to your login script using a "regedit /s deletekey.reg".

You could launch a vb script, something like:

const HKEY_CURRENT_USER =3D3D &H80000001
strComputer =3D3D "."

Set =
oReg=3D3DGetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=3D3Dimpersonate}!\\" &_
 strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath =3D3D "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\..Location..\..to..\..delete\.."
oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,strKeyPath,"Value to delete"
