Remove a Windows environment variable.

Syntax 
      objShell.Environment(strType).Remove(strName)

Key

   objShell    A WScript.Shell object

   strString   The environment variable 
               to be removed

     strType  one of
              "System" (HKLM),
              "User"   (HKCU),
              "Volatile" or "Process"

' Delete the LAST_LOGIN_DATE user environment variable
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Environment("USER").Remove("LAST_LOGIN_DATE")
