    Wipe out all the keys in the "profile" registry

    Hey,

    I just learned about the CWinApp::WriteProfileString() and ReadProfileString() functions, but now I'm curious how to delete EVERY entry in the registry that belongs to the program (which was set by the SetRegistryKey(_T("ProgramName")) function). I need to delete everything because I'm going to rebuild the entire section every time a user saves their information.

    Thanks,

    If you know the name of the keys the app will have, you could just set them all to a default value when the app starts.
