| Newbie Rep Power: 6 ![]() | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry Awesome tutorial, very helpful. Never used CCleaner before reading this, while CCleaner was unable to delete the entry I was trying to remove I found a work around. I had an entry named "Search" which was being very difficult. Obviously too many entires in registry named "search" to do a registry search, and the entry wasn't in the default key. Windows Install Cleanup saw the key but was unsuccessful in removing it. I used CCleaner to rename it to "findmenow"(which was successful) then searched the registry for "findmenow". Done in 2 minutes what was taking me hours looking through different entries in the registry. Excellent recommendation on CCleaner. Much appreciated. |

Thank you for sharing your workaround for solving your problem. Some of these programs can be messy when it comes to uninstalling them due to shotty programming. Shawn |

| Newbie and Gamer Rep Power: 3 ![]() | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry Thanks for the great tutorial, I was unable to do Method 1 nor 2, becouse of the difgital signs (certificates) -I can't install any program with "unknown certificate" (another headache)-, but Using the Registry was a great help indeed. Thank you so much. |
