    I like using revo-uninstaller

    Has a thorough search of registry and hard drive for any remnants of the program you just uninstalled

    Check it out
    hope this helps

    I also use Revo, but after I use Ccleaner and do a registry scan and most the time Ccleaner also picks stuff up.

    I no this doesn't answer your question, but sometimes nothing beats the results you get when you perform a full destructive system restore. I usually do one about once every 3 months and keep all my data files on an external hard drive. Just about all software leaves some type of ID/date codes so they can automatically tell how long you've been using their product regardless of uninstalling the software or using registry cleaners.
