Hello,
I'm using Windows XP Pro with SP2 integrated (latest updates). My computer is HP pavilion ze4900 series (ze4949ea). Usually when I want to delete all remnants of a certain software on my computer, I go to "run" and type "regedit". from there I go to "edit">"search" and search for the name of the software. I had no problems with this solution, only that I believe there's must be a better way than to find one value at a time. I keep pressing "F3" to find again one value each time. Is there a more efficient way to search once and then get all the results? Perhaps a program you can recommend if it's not available from Microsoft? Thank you, Tom K. |
