Hi,

I'm looking for a way to delete a registry entry upon every soft-reboot of my iPaq. The only idea that came to me was to execute a .cab file (putting it in start folder?) which would contain an .inf file that removes the reg entry. Unfortunately, .inf files can only add registry entries but not remove them. So I'm back to square one.
Does anybody know a way to achieve that?

what is the registry key? does it change or is it the same every time?

I would suggest writing a EVC++ program to do it. It would only be a few lines of code. You could just copy the program to the "start" folder on your PPC to make it run every time the PPC is rebooted.

If you want (and this isnt some dodgey hack to remove trial software limits) I can write it for you.

It is always the same...

Yes, but somehow I thought that such a program would be overkill where a simple .reg file would do it (if it could)...

No, it's alright, it would be a good opportunity for me to start coding on the ppc. Thanks for the offer! :D
