If you just want to delete everything in the Clients key, you could do something like this: <cfregistry action="DELETE" branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Client s"> If CF isn't able to do this (and it might be a bad idea to try this, come to think of it), you might instead delete the key programmatically, you could do it any number of ways. For example, if you're using Windows 2000, you can use the command-line REG.EXE tool, which comes with the Windows 2000 Support Tools (found on the Win2K install CD): REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients Note that in either case, you'll delete whatever loose values are in there to track server-wide settings for Client variables, such as the use of UUIDTokens. That's no big problem, though, I suppose. You could read out just those values before deleting the key, again using REG: REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients /v TimeOut REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients /v LastID REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients /v UUIDToken > *Same sort of issue with DB client stores: CF isn't properly purging > unused client variables.
