Clearing iTunes from registry
I had problems with iTunes not finding music files after I moved them. So rather than telling iTunes where the new location of over 1000 files were, I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it hoping that it would then pick up the new file locations when it imported the music. Imagine my surprise when it reinstalled with the old file locations and did not go through the importing of all of the files.
So I uninstalled it again and then looked through the registry and much to my surprise found several references to iTunes. This is probably why it picked up on the old file locations and did not import files like it would on it's initial install. At least this is my working theory.
How can I clear my system so I can do a fresh install and have iTunes import files like it should on it's initial install? Do I need to clear my registry of all references to iTunes, and how would I do this? Is there a registry cleaner such as Regedit that I can use that would remove all references to a program no longer installed on my system? I've used Regedit in the past with older OS's with good results, but the last time I looked it didn't list Windows 7 as being compatible so I'm a little leery about using it.
