Just put a minus sign in front of the key you wish to delete in the .reg

Here Is My Reg File

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]

"AutoConfigURL"="http://proxy.bae.co.uk/www/proxy.pac"

I have tried putting the "-" sign in before the quotes

like so -"autoconfigurl"

but it still stays the little blighter.

is there another way please

Thanks

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]

"AutoConfigURL"=-

No matter what the title we all have a lot to learn. Hang around this site and you'll pick up a lot of good information and may also be able to pass on some of your knowledge to others.

Also what you are deleting are Names and Data from within the Key, not the Key itself. Keys are in the left panel, Names and Data are in the right panel. So Allan was technically correct in his answer to your original question.

Not quite the newbie I used to be, but still prone to the odd mistake :D
