Hi,

It is nice to delete RegKeys recursively, but
what if you don't want to do this?
Since there is no way to detect if any subkeys
exist, I misused RegDeleteKey. It simply failed
in the case there are any subkeys.

May I siggest to make it optional? I would expect
RegDeleteKey [/r] ... just like RMDir or File is implemented.

That technique would not work in Win9x anyway :)

Hi Justin,

since the above discussion hits the same topic as my request here, I am reposting it here:

I need functions to check if subkeys and/or values exist in a registry key. A more complicated nice-to-have thing would be a command to get a list of subkey/value names, so I would like commands like
RegSubkeyNames
RegValueNames
RegSubkeysExist
RegValuesExist
Also I would like some way to access the lists :-)
Is there a way to implement a for loop with the currently implemented commands?
