"Uninstalling" .reg file

[Cheetah Designs]

So I have a .reg file which has added some stuff to my registry.

How do I reverse it? (i.e remove the stuff it has added without going into regedit and manually doing it)

Deleting Registry Keys and Values

To delete a registry key with a .reg file, put a hyphen (-) in front of the RegistryPath in the .reg file. For example, to delete the Test subkey from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
put a hyphen in front of the following registry key in the .reg file:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
The following example has a .reg file that can perform this task.
[
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
]


To delete a registry value with a .reg file, put a hyphen (-) after the equals sign following the DataItemName in the .reg file. For example, to delete the TestValue registry value from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
put a hyphen after the "TestValue"= in the .reg file. The following example has a .reg file that can perform this task.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test

"TestValue"=-

^I'd be careful with that though, should have taken a registry backup before hand.

I wouldn't go removing registry values, as the original reg file may just have edited default ones.


List the registry values that were changed and maybe a few people on here will compare their settings with yours for you.

indeed, I'd use system restore personally
