Default Reg. entries, & cleaners:

How does one get rid of those gnarly registry entries, that seem to be left behind, after uninstalling a program?

I have several reg. cleaners, which seem to take care of such and such key or value left behind, but then, the cleaner/s find same entry again later.

And, here and there, when I've tried to reinstall a program it has trouble creating or writing this or that - concerning the very entry that it left first time it was installed and apparently didn't remove.

I even have or am trying dedicated uninstallers, and they don't always seem to cover all the bases either. So, if I am the Admin. of a PC, why is it that I can't always seem to delete certain reg. keys/values?

Thanks, SG1 (Pat)

Use full paid version Registry Mechanic v5.2, it will clean all of them in a thorough safe manner. Be sure to check option to back up with system restore just in case, but I assure you this is safe and it really can find more things others don't find.
