It does a very good job of removing all the bits of that program that are scattered over your system.<br /> CCleaner does a general cleanup of your system but also can clean your registry of things that are redundant.<br /> <a href='http://www.revouninstaller.com/'>http://www.revouninstaller.com/</a><br /> <a href='http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/'>http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/registry-question#post-26582 Thu, 29 May 2008 13:29:23 +0000 tmonkey2394 26582@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>There is some programs that you know the program didnt delete so thats what I was going to do with the registry. But like you said dont try it but I dont know but is it safe to do it by yourself. How does that program that you have work? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/registry-question#post-26581 Thu, 29 May 2008 13:11:23 +0000 Lighthouse 26581@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If you are not sure then don't try it.<br /> You can mess up the system completely by deleting the wrong entry </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/registry-question#post-26576 Thu, 29 May 2008 13:03:20 +0000 tmonkey2394 26576@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>So it wont hurt my computer like if I do that because I am scared it might delete the wrong thing. Thats why I think I should do it but I was thinking what if I mess up on it.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Tmonkey2394 </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/registry-question#post-26574 Thu, 29 May 2008 13:00:33 +0000 Lighthouse 26574@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If you know what you are doing, yes. But it might mean several hours work.<br /> Better to use something like Revo Uninstaller &#38; a registry cleaner like CCleaner </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/registry-question#post-26572 Thu, 29 May 2008 12:54:11 +0000 tmonkey2394 26572@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Is it safe to clean the registry yourself for like old programs.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Tmonkey2394 </p>
