help with deleting reg keys

Comment:

I'm having problems with deleting a reg key that has a space in the name. Does anyone know how to delete these so that it can be done via a batch file? IE HKLM\software\network associates\epolicy orchestrator\agent\agentguid Thanks

Enclose the entire Reg Key string in quotes. "HKLM\software\network associates\epolicy orchestrator\agent\agentguid" This forces the interpreter to treat the entire key as a single string instead of misidentifying the space as a delimiter. Stuart

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\network associates\epolicy orchestrator\agent\agentguid] Make a registry file from this and double click. Check the Editor Version is 5.00 however
