If is is not listed in Add/Remove Programs and still the application is running in the computer then we need to remove the program from Registry. All the programs install would be definitely listed in Registry.\n\nFollow the steps to un-install the program from Registry.\nThese steps involve Windows Registry modifications and hence I suggest you take a backup of the registry before applying the solution.\n\nRegistry Backup:\n1. Click Start, Run and type regedit.\n2. Click File on Registry menu and select Export to File option.\n3. Select the radio button beside “All” option.\n4. Give a file name (say regbackup) and save it onto the desktop.\n\nPlease follow the steps below to delet the program from Registry\n1. Click Start, Run and type regedit and hit enter to open Registry menu.\n2. Click "+" beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.\n\n3. Click "+" beside Software .\n\n4. Click "+" beside Microsoft.\n\n5. Click "+" beside Windows.\n\n6. Click "+" beside CurrentVersion.\n\n7. Click "+" beside Uninstall.\n\nTry to find the program which you want to delete. After finding the program, Right-Click on the program and select Delete/Uninstall.\n\nAfter deleting the program, close the Registry Menu and restart the system.

Manually editing a registry can be very dangerous.  If you are not 100% sure of what you are doing, don't do it.  Also, make sure you have a backup of your data before you mess around with it.  Danger lurks.\n\nAnyway, the administrator account should be able to edit the registry.  May just want to check you user account settings to make sure the administrator account really does have administrator access.  It can be taken away.  May also be the result of spy ware or a virus.

Typically NO, your registry is going to be specific to your computer and the programs/OS associated with it. It would be near impossible to make a "Generic" .REG file that anyone could use. I would rather see you run any and all utilities on your computer to speed it up. There are some registry cleaning programs but please make sure you back up your registry first, it is very easy and quick.

Hello,\n\nI am quite happy to answer your question as I am the CEO of ParetoLogic, the makers of RegCure. The Windows Registry is quite complex and every registry cleaning application uses its own algorithm to scan the registry. It is apparent from your posting that Registry Mechanic uses different detection criteria than RegCure, thus producing different results.\nThanks for your interest in RegCure!\n\nBest Regards,\nElton Pereira

1- Open Windows registry editor (Start Menu > Run > type regedit > Enter)\n2- go to File > Export > Select file and place > make sure you select "All" check box in Export range\n3- Burn this file to CD.\n\nRegistry is changing always, so sometimes the importing registry may make problems.

Start > Run > type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) click ok, the Registry Editor will open up.\nNavigate you way to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows NT&#92;CurrentVersion"\nDouble click on the Value Names: "RegisteredOwner" & "RegisteredOrganization" & change the value data to whatever you want.\nReboot.

Use the Disk-Management snap in.\n\nIf that doesn't work do this:\n\n\nThe following method involves some risks (as is the case with all modifications done to the registry) but if you know what you are doing I'd say your chances of messing it up are close to null.\n\n   1. Log on as an Administrator.\n   2. Start Regedt32.exe.\n   3. Go to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;MountedDevices\n   4. Click MountedDevices.\n   5. On the Security menu, click Permissions.\n   6. Verify that Administrators have full control. Change this back when you are finished with these steps.\n   7. Quit Regedt32.exe, and then start Regedit.exe.\n   8. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;MountedDevices\n   9. Find the drive letter you want to change to (new). Look for "&#92;DosDevices&#92;C:".\n  10. Right-click &#92;DosDevices&#92;C:, and then click Rename. Note You must use Regedit instead of Regedt32 to rename this registry key.\n  11. Rename it to an unused drive letter "&#92;DosDevices&#92;Z:". This frees up drive letter C.\n  12. Find the drive letter you want changed. Look for "&#92;DosDevices&#92;D:".\n  13. Right-click &#92;DosDevices&#92;D:, and then click Rename.\n  14. Rename it to the appropriate (new) drive letter "&#92;DosDevices&#92;C:".\n  15. Click the value for &#92;DosDevices&#92;Z:, click Rename, and then name it back to "&#92;DosDevices&#92;D:".\n  16. Quit Regedit, and then start Regedt32.\n  17. Change the permissions back to the previous setting for Administrators (this should probably be Read Only).\n  18. Restart the computer.

hmm, i'm assuming if you're looking for a scanreg program you most likely have some sort of spyware on your system.\n\nrun regedit32.exe\nMost spyware resides in\nHKEY_LocalMachine |Software | Microsoft |Windows | Current Version | Run\n\nIf you truly need a scanreg program, i'd look at www.tucows.com

the registry is the basis of your operating system it is allright to use a program such as registry mechanic to find and repair problems but unless you are an expert don't even think about trying to modify it the blue screen of death will be your reward

You know that there are usually files that are installed elsewhere.  There are also changes to the registry.  Even if you copy the programs over, I doubt they will run.  You best bet is to get the CD's they were installed from, if they were.

Vicki, unless you understand the registry very well, stay out of it.  One little letter or period or comma or whatever can render enormous problems for you.  I don't know what went before your question, but get exact instructions from an expert. By the way, I am not that expert!
