DELETING FROM THE REGISTRY

[27962796]

Im running Windows98, and im having trouble deleting a key from the registry...

The key i have created is :-
SetStringValue "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Pop-up Stop", App.Path + "\" + App.EXEName + ".exe"

but when i try to delete the key using the following :-
DeleteKey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Pop-up Stop"
it doesnt delete...

Is there any way i could delete that,so it doesnt run at startup through vb. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Can you delete it in Safe Mode?
