.bat to delete registry files

[Snacks]

Is it possible using a batch to delete registry files? The reason I ask is I want to remove all traces of apps that have been run from USB. I have a few apps that run from directory but save my settings to the local computer, I want to have a batch that i can run after im finished with the apps that would delete the registry files storing the application settings.

Also would you recommend process monitor as the best way to check what reg files are being made by an app?

Can i use something like:

rd /s /q HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAppName

?

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the reply remkow! I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, I'm pretty new to all this sort of stuff. Is that the path to where registry files are stored?

Google is your friend

 Win 2000, XP You can create .reg file and specify in it minus sign before the key name to delete (example - contents of sample file c:del.reg):



REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSyst...]

Interesting. I just googled with batch + delete + registry + key as the search criteria and the first hit was http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html which gives more details about manipulating the registry.

Sounds more like you want to clear some logs, sorry If I'm wrong. You may want to look at this also:

Go to start>run and type in cmd

type in "reg /?" without the quotes

read the stuff it says in the little black screen.
