    im sorry if the title isnt clear but i'm not really sure how to explain this. What im looking for is a software that will keep track of any installation so that when and if you decide to uninstall something you will be sure every file that came with that installation is gone.

    i know its confusing but it just might be clear enough for someone to point me in the right direction. thanks

    Look for a program called Total Uninstall. It is very good. It monitors all changes to the file system, registry and windows services. With the click of a button it will undo all changes done to the system by the software title.

    I know Norton used to have it in their Norton SystemWorks, but those apps just bog down the system and they can remove to much from the registry.

    are they worth it or are they just a little better than the regular windows vista uninstaller?
