Under the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
there are these three values: My Music, My Pictures, and My Video. I want to write one piece of code to delete them all at once. Please, an expert, write some code for me! The value names are all MY*

Please, an expert, write a piece of code

Pattern matching isn't supported.
You can use for... and put those 3 elements inside: music, pictures, video.

Could I trouble slore to help me write a piece of code?

Edit it with Notepad, save it as: "Delete Personal Documents.reg"
Just double-click it to run it.
================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"My Music"=-
"My Pictures"=-
"My Videos"=-
================

I want to write a batch file to delete them, because these values often get rebuilt automatically

slore, I'm not very familiar with the FOR command, could you please help me write a piece of code?

slore, thank you, but I'm deleting these three registry entries, not deleting files

There is one value in the code in post #11 that can't be deleted: My Video! The code in post #10 can't delete them!

The first post says My Videos, so why has it become My Video here?

If it's My Video, just remove that s.

lovelymorning, all the code tests succeeded! Learned something from this!

lovelymorning, one more question for you: if under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
there are 4 values with different names, such as sfj, fqj, emf, ejfsa, then how should the code be written?
