How to Remove Programs from Windows 7 Registry
Removing a program from the Windows 7 Registry Editor ensures that you completely remove the program from your computer. When the Add/Remove utility does not completely get rid of a program, the Registry Editor is a effective alternative. Although using the Registry Editor is a simple process, you must be careful not to delete the wrong registry key.
Instructions
1 Press "F" plus the "Windows" key at the same time. Type "regedit" in the dialog box and press "Enter." This opens the Registry Editor.
2 Navigate the following registry path on the left side of the Editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\Uninstall
3 Select the program that you wish to remove in the "Uninstall" folder in the left pane. Double-click "uninstallstring" in the right pane and then copy the "Value data." Exit the Registry Editor.
4 Repeat the first sentence in Step 1. Paste the string in the dialog box and click "OK." This will start the removal of the program.
