Thanks Mike!

BTW, what about the the entries in registry left over by the
uninstalled softwares? It is said that installing and uninstalling
softwares leaves traces in the registry. If the registry cleaner
indicates such entries pertaining to the name of uninstalled
software, will it be safe to delete them? If not, what precautions
one need to take? TIA.

What uninstalled software? What registry cleaner? If you are going to
play with registry cleaners, and personally I don't advise that unless
you've got a good idea as to what you're doing (I don't user them), the
essential thing to remember is to back up the registry first and also to
retain the deleted registry entries so that they can be easily restored if
problems result. Most registry cleaners create backups automatically so
use them and don't discard the files as unwanted.
