Deleting Registry Keys

[DDLee]

I'm trying to write a script to delete the registry keys for Outlook Express in Windows 2000. I need to do this on about 100 computers. Everything I've read says I can do this, but I'm having major problems. Anyone have any suggestions and/or script samples?

Thanks.

I am very much aware of how to do this. I have had the same problems... I am unaware of how to do this through VB but you can easily do this with some resource kit utils and a good bat script. I would sugguest you look into regini.exe. You can download this file and the instruction set from Microsoft I believe.. or I can send it to you if you wish.. in addition I could provide you with some sample scripts that we have written that would make use of this if you wish...

You may get me at KAHenderson@firstfleetinc.com

Hope this helps.

U can use the WScript object:

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\", 1, "REG_BINARY"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader", "Goocher!", "REG_SZ"

WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\"

Hope this helps. Form me works just fine...

Remove the "WScript." from the WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot line... ________

Okay - Even I can do that part, but now something that bugs me: How to do the same trick to remote computers registry running the code locally?

Actually I'd like to retrieve some values from remote computers registry key like
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion" that has a string value containing service pack version info.
The registry value goes both w2k & Nt4.

Any kind of suggestions?
Thanks
