Ten Steps to
Trouble-Free Computing
Step 7: Stick with the Program |
|||
Never try to manually delete an application on a Windows system. Most applications make additions to system files when you install them, so it's best if the application has its own uninstall program. If an application doesn't come with an uninstall option, try the Windows 95/98/Me/XP Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. If the application doesn't support the Windows 95/98/Me/XP uninstall function, use a commercial utility such as Quarterdeck's CleanSweep 3.0 or MicroHelp's Uninstaller. As the Windows uninstall utility is not always reliable about removing all the pieces of an application, you may want to use one of the commercial utilities in all cases. They do a better job. I would also recommend using a Registry Cleaner program like Registry First Aid or CCleaner to cleanup left-over registry entries and temporary files. |
