OT: Does anyone know VB?

[Dragonswrd]

I am writing a program that needs to delete a file, but I can't find the command or the syntax to make it delete the file. Any help would be useful.

[Suicide Junkie]

kill "filename"

[Dragonswrd]

It worked. Thank you very much. Do you by any chance know how to delete a registry entry under VB? I am writing a program, not a virus by the way, that will delete a specified file and registry entry.

[Suicide Junkie]

Nope. I just use regedit.

[Dragonswrd]

Oh well, thanks for the other help.

Try the "DeleteSetting" function. Use "GetSetting" to pullinfo out.

[Dragonswrd]

I thought of that, but that only lets you delete something from the VB section of the registry.

I looked and there is also a "RegDelete" method. I don't really call it VB since it is a windows call. I have not used it, but the MSDN help looked like it might be what you need.

code:

[VBScript] 

Dim WshShell, bKey

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")



WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\", 1, "REG_BINARY"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader", "Goocher!", "REG_SZ"



bKey = WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller  \")

WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller  \MindReader")



WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader"

WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\"

WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\"

Is this by any chance VB .NET? The .NET runtime has some handy classes for manipulating the registry

[Dragonswrd]

Regretably, I don't know anything about VB.Net.
