    I could, but it take long times to delete them all,
    because I have an users she install "GIS" software with
    old version on XP machine, now she need to install new
    version, but keep give her error, in order to remove
    everything she need to clean out from the registry, the
    new software is on c:\arcexe83, the old software is on
    c:\arcexe82, this software is entire Los Angeles's Map,for
    all the streets, we talking about thousand and thousand in
    the registry, I spent 4 hours delete "arcexe82" from the
    registry,Hkey_Class_root, Hkey_Current_users, Now I am in
    the middle of Hkey_local_machine, I still have Hkey_users
    and Hkey_current_config, my fingers are so tired, what I
    did is find "arcexe82", hit F3, found it, deleted it. so
    two fingers on the keyboard for 4 hours, can you imageing?
    no fun.
    So can you help me create some VB script to delet this
    value "arcexe82" at once, I will be really appreciated it.
