Drill down: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ and HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE Locate the application's entries and delete them. Use Explorer to to remove the entries from the Start Menu in either %windir%\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ and/or %windir%\Profiles\YourId\Start Menu\Programs\ If there is an entry in the Add/Remove list, edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall locate the entry and delete it.
