Deleting Application Settings

You can use the DeleteSetting statement to delete a registry key, section, or an application's registry ___location. For example, you may want to delete all registry information for an application when the application is uninstalled.

Use the following syntax for the DeleteSetting statement:

DeleteSetting(appname, section, key)

The following code deletes the LastEntry key in the "RegCust" application's Startup section.

Private Sub cmdDelKey_Click()
   DeleteSetting "RegCust", "StartUp", "LastEntry"
End Sub

The following code deletes the "RegCust" application's entire Startup section of the registry.

Private Sub cmdDelSection_Click()
   DeleteSetting "RegCust", "StartUp"
End Sub

The following code deletes the entire registry ___location for the "RegCust" application.

Private Sub cmdUnInstall_Click()
   DeleteSetting "RegCust"
End Sub
