how to clean completely the registry from old removed programs?

[Unknown]

You're definitely wrong and your means of denial is to degrade posters by
calling them morons or manipulators.
If you have 'too many years' with computers you sure haven't learned
anything.
Why should anyone have to 'maintain' their registry?

wrong about what,
morons or manipulators?

certainly, I can't be wrong about
the importance of maintaining
a lean and mean registry database.

too many years with computers
to have manipulators like you
and the others continue to denounce
the maintenance of the registry.

take your pity arguments to microsoft
and tell them you know more about
windows than they do and they should
stop making utilities for maintaining
the registry.

further, take your pitiful argument to
the person who developed page defrag.

what's the point to defragging
fragments, if people like you
know better.

lol, mentioning a registry cleaner here always brings the same set of
morong climbing out of the woodwork! Ken is particularly closed minded
and ignorant about anything he isn't very familiar with too.

ANYway, SC Tom gave you some good advice that may work. Give it a try,
IMO.
Then run your AV and anti-spyware arsenal in updated, full scans on your
drives as it could be malware that any fix will only come back
eventually as in uninstalling another program.

If those are no help, give ccleaner a try. It's at:
http://www.ccleaner.com/
and a lot of folks like it. It's realiable and works well. Read the
instructions first and make good decisions. Always let it back up your
changes just in case something gets removed that souldn't, but ccleaner
has an excellent history that way. There are others too but that one
should do the job for you quite nicely IMO.

Oh, and I'd advise to just ignore the ignorants and closed minds wanting
to libel every cleaner that ever existed or exists; they're just noise
and nothing more.

Self projection duly noted.

 

[HeyBub]

Hello:
I noticed that most programs keep traces in the registry, even after
being uninstalled. is there a mean to remove completely the entries
of a unistalled program from the registry??
For example, I installed "allplayer" then I uninstalled it, but when
selecting a movies'file I still have "allplayer" in the right-click
of the mouse.
Thanks
Maurice

Is there some reason you're considering this other than "I'm the sort of
person who dusts the inside of book covers"?

 

[Twayne]

And they continue to crawl out of the woodwork. Absolutely wrong; you
coined the right phrase for your own input at least. More morong
appearing.

 

[Twayne]

Hmm, just come in from the playground did you? Don't worry; you might
make it to the big boy's school next year.

HTH,

Twayne

Well said!

 

[Twayne]

Oh yeah, the trollers come out of the woodwork, too. Look! There's one
now. Complete with troll-bait. This one's particularly powerless and
hungers for power over those who bite like a cat in heat. Don't look him
up on google; it's a long list of diatribes, trolls and lunacy when the
moon gets full.

you would reduce the

it only takes one itty
bitty fragment to become
corrupted and corrupt
the entire registry hive.

Yes, it is normally possible to remove these. However, I strongly
recommend that you do *not* try to do this. Having the leftover
entries there does not hurt you in any way, and is *extremely*
dangerous.

You're correct, it doesn't hurt anything, but it is *definitely*
annoying to right-click on a file and find multiple references to
programs that are no longer installed.

To OP:
Go to the following website and scroll down to the section
"Context Menus (Right Click) - Deleting entries" for the
instructions. C Page - Windows XP from A to Z:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_c.htm

Also, Google "removing right click options" for numerous hits.

As always, make a backup of the registry before messing with it
(assuming that you feel comfortable in there).

[Twayne]

Hmm, great catch! I'll bet it's useful to him.

However - your problem is much more specific...

This link might help you edit what you see on that right-click...
Safely and effectively:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm
(Maybe "ShellMenuView" will be of service.)

Is there some reason you're considering this other than "I'm the sort of

Maybe he wants to do an oil change, (as Twayne and dB stated was so
necessary, lest the "system get bogged down").

 

[Bill in Co.]

Well said!

Don't encourage him. It may go to his head.

Oil "change?" Is that something new?

When the oil level in my car gets low - or is empty - I just add some.
