check out this winapi function:
RegDeleteKey_(hKey, Key)
hKey can be :
#HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
#HKEY_CURRENT_USER
#HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
#HKEY_USERS
key is a string of the key you want to delete.
Note: keys cannot be deleted if they have subkeys, i.e. all subkeys must be deleted before the main key.
P.S. this is untested and quickly copied from the api docs!

ummm.. this one would work, but not for entries =(
to make it easier:
i want to let my app to be started automatically with windows (this works), but of course want it to be able to delete this entry again.
thx in advance
