What did you uninstall?

What are the exact steps you took to uninstall it? That is, did you go through the Programs and Features control panel?

 

[georgehagi]

Winpatrol is the name of software i used control panel as you pointed out

 

[TwoCables]

Have you restarted your computer since uninstalling it? This is the only thing I can think of.

 

[georgehagi]

yea maybe a hundred times i uninstalled it 1 week ago i even use advanced system care pro to clean out old registry stuff n errors but i guess it has nothing to do with registry

 

[TwoCables]

Oh, be careful with cleaning the Registry! That should never be done because regardless of the software used to "clean" it, there's a long history of deleting false positives. This means that there's a risk of breaking everything if any of those false positives are critical.

I admit that I was thinking that this could be something left over in the Registry, but I don't have any more information in order to lead us to the point where we get rid of these entries in the Context Menus.

you are right indeed but Advanced system Care is really trustable software that is used by many people so i dont think it might've caused any issues like this

Advanced System Care is not as trustworthy as you think. I have something to say and it will not be pleasant, but anyone who knows what they're doing does not use software like this - especially Advanced System Care. I'm not that special, but I do not use - or need - software like this. I don't have any software installed that's even remotely similar because I just don't need it. To be honest, I don't think anyone really needs software like this, especially if they're on message boards like SevenForums.

Maybe it's the way I use my computer, but I've never needed anything like that.

I didn't even use software like this back when I had a pre-built Gateway computer. That computer had a 500 MHz Pentium III with 384 MB of memory, and a couple of 40 GB 5400 RPM PATA ("IDE") hard drives that I bought separately.

Maybe it's the way I use my computer, but it has always been fine. Oh sure, the Gateway had its problems, but that's a pre-built for ya.

(don't be too impressed with my system though: I literally live at my computer, so it has to be ridiculous. hehe)

The tools and methods which work best based on countless thousands of installs we've helped with here are detailed in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 and the same for retail installs.

Any registry cleaner besides CCleaner can and often will ruin Win7. You may not even know how much better WIn7 can run if you don't have a perfect install to begin with, and are running crapware like that.

Win7 is always instantaneous and never hangs or bogs on adequate hardware when you maintain a perfect install.

Also as Greg points out. A clean install can do wonders. no telling what other hidden issues might be slowing you down (even slightly)
