Win32 Registry Manipulation w/PythonWin?

[David LeBlanc]

You know you don't need PythonWin to manipulate the registry? You can use
the standard Python module __winreg. That module has the following function:

DeleteValue(key, value)
Removes a named value from a registry key.
key is an already open key, or one of the predefined HKEY_* constants.

value is a string that identifies the value to remove.

Re the constants: probably grep the source Luke :->
