(Whenever I uninstall a program,
I then--after first exporting the Windows Registry--go
in and edit the Registry and manually remove all
references. In one case recently--and this was a niche
app that I'm sure did not have built-in default
entries, the way Word or WordPerfect may--I had to
remove 40-odd references from the Registry.)
Patricia, you are working too hard. There are paid programs like Registry Mechanic and free ones like Ccleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/
that clear out Registry detritus for you. Ccleaner also clears out Temporary files and other leftovers (all at user discretion) and
found me an amazing 1.4 GB on a very full hard drive.
