How do I Uninstall programs when Window cannot?
There are a couple of choices
#Use a Free Uninstall Program
Programs like Revo Uninstaller will remove unwanted programs installed on your computer, even if you have problems uninstalling and cannot uninstall them from "Windows Add or Remove Programs" control panel applet.
With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller analyses an application's data before uninstall and scans after you uninstall an application. After the program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that are usually left over on your computer. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application's data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry keys so you can delete them.
With its unique "Hunter mode", Revo Uninstaller offers you some simple, easy to use, but effective and powerful approaches to manage (uninstall, stop, delete, disable from auto starting) and to get information about your installed and/or running programs.
Use a Regcleaner
I you find windows uninstall applet will not do the trick use a reputable registry cleaner to get the rest. Recommendations are Eusing or CCleaner which I have found not as thorough as Eusing. CCleaner is not strictly a registry cleaner, however in the Tools section of the program, has a reasonable registry cleaner plus you have the advantage of keeping rubbish off your PC.
