Delete key at boot time

NTDEV

Hello,

I would like to know how delete a registry key at boot time. Do I have to
set a flag when I create a registry key to tell the system to erase the key
at boot time?

Regards

One “off the top of my head” solution would be to generate a .reg file in
the temp folder that deletes the key you want. Then place two values under
the RunOnce key. The first to run regedit /s theRegFile.reg. The second to
run Command /c del theRegFile.reg to clean up after itself.

Depends on when at the boot stage you want to delete. If it is Okay to delete at service start time, then you can use a nt service, that would start automatically and delete registry keys if present, and it would not take much to stop the service right after it delets the key(s)…
