| WolfSage | I am having a problem with the registry I can't seem to figure out. I can't seem to delete a registry key from my program. I've done it like MSDN says, yet it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. | January 20, 2003, 8:50 PM |

| Skywing | Does the registry key have any subkeys? RegDeleteKey will only delete keys without any subkeys in NT/2K/XP. | January 21, 2003, 1:55 PM |
| Grok | As Skywing said: The RegDeleteKey function deletes a subkey. Windows 95/98/Me: The function also deletes all subkeys and values. To delete a key only if the key has no subkeys or values, use the SHDeleteEmptyKey function. Windows NT/2000/XP: The subkey to be deleted must not have subkeys. To delete a key and all its subkeys, you need to recursively enumerate the subkeys and delete them individually. To recursively delete keys, use the SHDeleteKey function. [pre] SHDeleteKey Deletes a subkey and all its descendants. The function will remove the key and all of the key's values from the registry. DWORD SHDeleteKey( HKEY hkey, LPCTSTR pszSubKey ); Parameters hkey Handle to the currently open key, or any of the following predefined values: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG HKEY_CURRENT_USER HKEY_DYN_DATA (Windows 95 only) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA (Windows NT only) HKEY_USERS pszSubKey Address of a null-terminated string specifying the name of the key to delete.

| WolfSage | Heh, everyone refers to that page it seems. I got it under control though. Thanks ~ | January 27, 2003, 10:58 PM |
