Problem with deleting startup reg keys

bukox · 11th May 2009, 12:15

I don't know why my script doesn't delete startup reg keys from registry:
DeleteRegKey HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MyApp"
The path is correct but registry keys still exists.
I have no problems with deleting other registry keys and there problem is only with startup keys. What is the reason?
I'm running this script on XP as Administrator.

You don't have keys under Run, only values. Use DeleteRegValue.
