Registry Problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello,

(Posted in the wrong forum originally)

I have created a .reg file to remove some entries from the registry of
certain machines however when i merge the registries the entries i am trying
to remove are still there? I dont understand why as when i search the
registry before hand it shows me the location and the details of the
key/value i wish to remove but when i re-create it and put a hyphen it is
still there after the merge.

Please can someone help me out....

Thanks

I have put the script below (It should move some keys and some values)
