Uninstall

Is there a preferred way to uninstall a program if you
have the choice of add/remove in control panel; or an
uninstall option that is available with the program?
Thanks Tom

They often amount to the same thing. Personally I tend to always use the
entry in Add/Remove Programs whilst I am sure that there are others who do
the reverse.

As was answered by Mike a day or so ago, he (and I as well) prefer to do it
from Add/Remove......but you can do it the other way if you want. Be sure
and check Windows Explorer to make sure all of the program is gone.....and
also run a registry cleaner to get any stray stuff out of there.

I have a few on here, but I stick to the old Microsoft RegClean 4.1. Not
sure if you can download it anymore. As I am not all that conversant with
the Registry, the others are a bit daunting, grin.

JV Tools 1.3 is what Heirloom uses for instance and I have used that
carefully. There is RegSupreme, RegSeeker, Registry Crawler...lots of them.
But if you are not well up on registry stuff, stick to MS RegClean.

Cheers.....Heather

Hi Heather:

Thanks for the info!

I do have and have use MS RegClean 4.1a, although I do have a few more such
as the older JV RegCleaner 4.3.

I just wanted to see if there was something else that I should be looking
at.

Cheers,
O.J.
