Default easy registry search

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.

I use Registry Crawler. You can download a 30-day trial version from:

Hi Tom,

Regseeker works well at searching the registry also, and it's free.
