Does anyone know how to delete registry hive through vbscript? Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Myhive\" I keep getting error indicate unable to remove key.

You don't delete a key. You add a negative key. eg. -HKCU\Myhive\ To delete a value the minus sign comes after the value. eg. HKCU\Myhive\MyValue- HTH Bryan

In vbscript, you can't use a negative to registry hive. I have tried and argument is invalid. I am trying to delete a whole registry hive not just one key. I read somewhere where that vbscript is does not support reg delete of hive if the sub keys aren't empty. If this true, does anyone know a whay around. I tried a batch file with the /f but it still prompts when it is executed. I want it to be transparent to user end when it is ran with no user intervention.

How about regedt32.exe /s [-HKCU\Myhive] I really don't know the answer but trying to lend assistance. I do not know the inner workings of vbscript. If no go then I will back off, Bryan

Bryan, Much appreciation for your assistance. But how can I incorporate that command structure in vbs? 'Delete CCTP registry hive Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Myhive" Are you talking about running that command through a batch file? If you are then I can accomplish that through a batch, but it still require user intervention for the batch to proceed with the deletion of the hive.

According to the follwoing article it is possible to import the -reg file by running it from a batch file in silent mode: http://www.winguides.com/article.php?id=1&page=4&guide=registry HTH Bryan
