Deleting a File from Hardrive and Deleting a SubKey in Registry

[Harry Barker]

Hi Group

I Have to complete a small project and i need you guys help in doing
it. I have to create a Tool that will automatically delete a file from
the Harddrive and also deleting a SubKey from the registry. Before
doing the same, the tool have to check the version of Windows.

Ex:

For Example if you guys could suggest me a coding where i can delete
the following.

Have to Delete SaveNow from ProgramFiles location in the harddrive

%ProgramFiles%\SaveNow\SaveNow.exe

Have to Delete SaveNow from the SubKey Uninstall

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SaveNow

If you guys can help me in this that will be great. If you have any
queries please to reply me. Thanks in Advance.

There is no "registry" or "Windows" definied in C++.

Ex:

For Example if you guys could suggest me a coding where i can delete
the following.

Have to Delete SaveNow from ProgramFiles location in the harddrive

%ProgramFiles%\SaveNow\SaveNow.exe

std::remove((std::string(std::getenv("ProgramFiles")+"\\SaveNow\\SaveNow.exe
").c_str());
This of course assumes that there is a "ProgramFiles" key in the
environment.

Have to Delete SaveNow from the SubKey Uninstall

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SaveN
ow

This, you should ask in a news group dedicated to Microsoft Windows.

If you guys can help me in this that will be great. If you have any
queries please to reply me. Thanks in Advance.
