Ok, none of thoes search out the actual key... I am looking for code that will search the key, more than focusing on deleting it, because that isn't a big problem..but I can't find crap on searching for a key...

Private Sub Command1_click()

ky = {123-124-5432-342-3432-124}
RegSearchKey ky 'This looks for the key
If ky <> "" Then 'or whatever the code is...
MsgBox "Key not found"
End
Else
RegDeleteKey ky 'This deletes the key once found
End
End If
End Sub

Is there not something like that i can use? It cant require that much to search the registy...can it?

Well this is a hard one, well if you know how to do a search method for directories, you probably could do that for registry too.
My registry module has a function that returns all subkeys in an array so you could have a go for it
