I am using WinXP Pro.

Is there anyway to completely remove all traces of a program that has been installed on a PC?

If I install a program then to through the proper steps to Remove a program I don't think it removes everything does it?

Btw, will the restore feature in XP remove registry keys that were created too?

Installed VirtuaGirl again, eh? :D

Uninstalling a program should remove 90% of it. Searching through your registry and hard drive and deleting any refrence would remove another 9% i'd say. System restore would get rid of it 99% i'd say.

Best bet: Format :)

(85% of people agree that 7% of statistics are 50% wrong)
