[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 903677, member: 31436"] The issue is not specific to registry keys. If you are using an uninstaller which creates snapshots before and after installing software, changes to both files and registry keys which do not belong to the program being installed can be monitored too. This is also a problem with uninstallers which just scan for leftovers are the normal uninstaller runs. On occasion, they will think that unrelated files and registry keys belong to the program that was just uninstalled. In both cases, the best way to handle this, is to pay attention to what the uninstaller wants to delete and be sure to uncheck anything that is not related to the program your are removing. [/QUOTE]
