- problems created due to installation of a software presists on its uninstallation
- computer performs slow
- if initial installation of a software fails due to some reason then it cant be reinstalled later
Explanation : "Registry" is the back-bone of the windows operating system which stores every policy,every license, every attribute related to hardware & software. Its just more than a mere database.For every click that we make Windows first consults the registry ,checks all policies and licences and than generates a response.
Thus when we install a software the O.S automatically creates registry settings against it . In case of certain Software these registry settings are left behind in the machine . This may lead to several problems like :1. slower response time of a machine 'coz presence of too many unimportant keys. 2.had there been problems with initial installation of a software , the problems persist even on reinstallation [as previsous registry settings are implemented automatically].[note: not all software left behind their registry settings on un-installation. Some of them do. It completely depends upon the developer. Coz not all developers love to wash dishes after having food]
Solution: these software specific settings can be removed manually. but thats not only complicated but can result in fatal-consequences if not done properly.So thats not recommended.There are various uninstallation-software available in market which can help you to overcome this problem with ease.Using them to uninstall software ,also ensures removal of unimportant registry settings.I personally recommend :
Features : real time installation monitor Forced uninstall Scanning for left-overs Multilevel-backup system Junk file cleaner Evidence remover Windows cleaner Autorun manager Unrecoverable-delete | |

Hi Windows Geek,
ReplyDeleteCan you paste some tips - on how to remove unnecessary entry (eg. already uninstalled s/w's entry) from Windows 7 REGISTRY without installing "Revo Uninstaller" ,i.e. any manual workout??

Sure Mr.Bkkv[barun-da]. for that first uninstall the application.
ReplyDelete1.then open the registry by entering "regedit" in the run box
2. delete the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE---> Software--->ApplicationName.
