Hey guys, I was wondering if one of ya'll could write me a simple script to automatically delete all entries in my Windows registry that contain a certain string, or maybe point me to a tutorial or something that could get me going on how to do it myself. Thanks.

Thanks. Batch file manipulation is going to be quite complicated as you aren't going to be sure of the entries all the time. If you need to do this repeatedly, you can probably do a registry file import of the locations where the string appears to "reset" them back to the starting point. But, if you need to do it once or twice, opening the registry editor and doing it manually is probably going take less time. What is the context? What are you trying to get rid of? Are you an authorized network admin or are you a home user? |
| It's for a home computer. I have an apparently poorly written piece of freeware that has a terribly annoying tutorial intro that for some reason comes up every few days or so. I found the registry entries I can delete to make it stay away, but I don't want to manually do it every couple days. There's probably a much more elegant solution, but this is the best I can think of off the top of my head. |
