The syntax for the program is:

RegRmove.exe [/r] [/f]

/r	Remove key, e.g. /r"HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\RealTray"
/f	Use remove file, e.g. /fc:\remove.txt

In /r and in a remove file, you can use the following abbrevations for the various registry keys:

HCR	HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HCU	HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HLM	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HU	HKEY_USERS
HCC	HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

 

You can also write out these keys in full as above.

The program can be run manually, from the start menu or installed into the 'Run' key in the registry:

Create a new string value named "_RegRemove" in the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrectVersion\Run" and set the value to "C:\RR\RegRmove.exe /fC:\RR\remove.txt", where "C:\RR" is the folder where RegRmove.exe is placed and "C:\RR\remove.txt" is the file with the keys to remove.

There is an example remove file (remove.txt) included in the ZIP file - it removes QuickTime and RealPlayer tray icon program.
