Check if registry key exists?

[hskr4evr]

With a vbscript, I want to check if the following registry key exists...

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems\Posix

How can I do this in a vbscript?? If it exists, I want to delete it.

Thanks.

hskr4evr,

Definitely possible. WMI/WSH based script can enumerate the keys and you just need to create a function to test for the key.

For some related, but not exact references checkout the following site. Lots of great scripts.

Use Wmi To Read Registry Value...

Check out Scriptomatic.. Tool assists in writing WMI scripts that can be executed via cscript or wscript.
