hello,
Due to certain issues, I recently had to uninstall a flight sim program (FSX), and the addons I installed alongside it. However, the way in which some of the addons are installed/uninstalled is quite poor. For example, the entries in the start menu remain, some files are left on the drive, which have to be deleted manually. One program doesn't have an uninstall option, and the folder must be deleted manually.
Once I'm done uninstalling everything, is there anything I need to sort out in the registry? I've heard some programs don't take care of registry entries upon uninstalling.
I'll be reinstalling again to the same folders/drive. If there are entries left behind in the registry, will they simply be used again, or will the be a build up of new entries?
I did think about installing one of those registry "cleaner" programs, but they've always caused more grief than anything else.
Thanks,
Odai.
EDIT: Apologies, this probably shouldn't be in the hardware forum.
