i found this example:

Deleting a Registry Key

Uses WMI to delete the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\System Admin Scripting Guide.

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\System Admin Scripting Guide"

oReg.DeleteKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath

Deleting Registry Values

Uses WMI to delete all the registry values under HKLM\SOFTWARE\System Admin Scripting Guide.

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\System Admin Scripting Guide"
strDWORDValueName = "DWORD Value Name"
strExpandedStringValueName = "Expanded String Value Name"
strMultiStringValueName = "Multi String Value Name"
strStringValueName = "String Value Name"

oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strDWORDValueName
oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strExpandedStringValueName
oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strMultiStringValueName
oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strStringValueName
