To delete a specific regstry value, (in this case from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache) simply type:

REG DELETE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache /v NAME

Where NAME is the name of the value.

NOTE: Be careful not to confuse the NAME of the value, with the data in it.
