Create or edit the .reg file with Notepad. Put a "-" (minus character)
after the leading "[" (bracket) of any key you want to delete.
Example: (This removes the entire Key)
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Unwanted]
If you want to delete a value in the right pane use this syntax:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6 or whatever]
