NO! Don't delete reg.dat - there can be some vital information for other 
applications. reg.dat is updated from *.reg, what are ASCII files. You can 
easily edit them and update reg.dat. Just double-click from File manager on 
*.reg file and you should see message - "Registration Database updated!". 
reg files for MSAPPS are in the MSAPPS\* subdirectories.

Success!
