I'm using RegDeleteKey and its working great unless the key has subkeys. How can you delete the key and all sub keys with the least file size and coding ?

Is there a better way then using RegDeleteKey ?

thanks for any help.

On windows 98 RegDeleteKey deletes subkeys. On 2k,xp it does not. You can however enumerate the subkeys and delete them individually or alternatively there is always SHDeleteKey().
