[in] HUSKEY hUSKey,
LPCWSTR pwzValue,

);
Parameters
[in] hUSKey
Type: HUSKEY
A handle to a currently open registry subkey. The subkey must have been opened with the KEY_SET_VALUE access right. For more information, see Registry Key Security and Access Rights.
This handle can be obtained through the SHRegOpenUSKey function.

Type: SHREGDEL_FLAGS
One of the SHREGDEL_FLAGS that specifies from which base key the value will be deleted.

Remarks
Note
The shlwapi.h header defines SHRegDeleteUSValue as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
