How: need to delete reg entries

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

How do I make a shortcut to delete a specific registry entry when i'm done using it???

Windows Live Movie Maker keeps the "Recent Project" history with-out an option to delete it. I found the way to do it by editing the registry. I am wondering if I could just make a simple short-cut and simply "click" instead of going through the reg to do this.

I think the string is Local User\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Movie Maker\Recent

There's a command line tool REG that lets you delete entries. You could easily put this in a batch file.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

I am a newb when it comes to things like this. Where do I start at?

1. Open notepad
2. Paste

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Movie Maker\Recent" /f

3. Save As "MovieMakerCleanup.bat" or something similar. Include quotes around the filename so that notepad does not append a .txt extension.

4. Double-click .bat file to run.
