What is yout Regedit ?

Do you mean Registry ?

a) Don't use the blasted thing

b) (If you insist) Give it a setting of ""

Regedit is Microsoft's tool for viewing/searching/editing the registry. It
exists in Windows.NET, and I believe it has been around since Windows 95.

Obviously I know that
- but to delete something 'in' your Regedit means knackering
RegEdit.exe

You mean 'Registry'
- which is as different from RegEdit as a 'Tree and a Dog'

Just store a null value - if you must use the wretched thing

And please remember: your RegEdit is NOT your Registry

You can use Windows API functions

RegOpenKeyEx
RegQueryValueEx
RegSetValueEx

which seem to work as advertised.
