Hi, I use the following as a function ;


bool DelRegKey(String KeyToOpen, String  KeyToDelete,void * RootKeyToOpen =
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT);


bool DelRegKey(String  KeyToOpen, String KeyToDelete,void* RootKeyToOpen)
{
bool RetVal = false;
TRegistry *thisreg = new TRegistry;
try{
thisreg->RootKey = RootKeyToOpen;  //default if not supplied is
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

if (thisreg->OpenKey(KeyToOpen,false))
    {thisreg->DeleteKey(KeyToDelete);
     RetVal = true;}
else
    RetVal = false;
}
__finally
{
delete thisreg;
return RetVal;}
}


and then call it like this:
DelRegKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run","Hello");

--- I have not tested this but it really ought to work
