a utility that will remove a specific registry entry

WinXP; 512ram; pent4;
I've been using Easy Cleaner and find it very useful, but would occassionally like to use a registry cleaner that would allow me to enter and remove all of a specific registry entry without go into the registry and using "find" & "find next" repeatedly.

No utility is needed. If you read http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=41069&messageID=481881 (and many other places) a .REG file with that handy minus sign will cause entries to be deleted.

Hey gklein!

I recommmend Registry First Aid or Registry Crawler. These two come to mind. Of course there are others, but I am most familiar with these two.
