The registry for my small app looks kinda like this

entry1 reg_sz value1
entry2 reg_sz value2
entry3 reg_sz value3

How would I delete one of this subkeys ?

So that this would be the result

entry1 reg_sz value1
entry3 reg_sz value3

In regedit you should be able to simply right-click on the key and select Delete. Or are you asking how to do it programatically?

If so...

'Delete Key declaration
Private Declare Function RegDeleteKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String) As Long

Private Sub cmdDelete_Click()
    DeleteSetting "key", "subkey"
End Sub
