    meh, found your problem
    first of all if the subkey isnt empty you should use the DeleteSubKeyTree method. Second, the path doesnt exist, it's right. why? because you are trying to access "LocalMachinereg://HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GameSpy\GameSpy 3D\Registration\Crypt"

    since you are using Registy.LocalMachine, you dont need to use the compelete path in the argument. Use this instead:
    VB Code:
    1. Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteSubKey("Software\GameSpy\GameSpy 3D\Registration\Crypt")

    HTH

    An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

    Additional information: Cannot delete a subkey tree because the subkey does not exist.

    ...

    heres my code....

    ...

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninsta ll\mpath")
    Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKey("Software\GameSpy\GameSpy 3D\Registration\Crypt")
    Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.DeleteSubKey("CLSID\{154329C7-BCC5-11d5-A481-000102C260CC}\InProcServer32\ThreadingModel")
    End Sub
