Uninstall utility doesn't work fully - what else can I use?

[Kemf]

Hi;

The "Uninstall/change a program" utility in the control panel is not listing all my programs (it does list about 90% of them though). What else can I use?

Thanks

If the program creates a Start Menu folder, often there's an Uninstall shortcut there. Not all programs put an uninstall setting in the Registry to show up in the Program Features uninstall list.

Also I've used this freeware and had no problems with it:
MyUninstaller: Alternative uninstaller to the standard Windows Add / Remove module

Some programs that are used on demand won't show up there. I use REVO to remove programs. If you decide to use REVO please read the instructions. If you tick the wrong thing it's gone.

Here's a free utility to make a "snap shot" of the registry before and after a program install. If the program does not specify that is does not use Registry, but otherwise seems it may be portable, you could use this tool to see if it makes any changes. Some small utilities you can just delete the folder, as is the case with many of mine.

Regshot can also scan the Windows folder to see if any dlls or whatever, are copied there by the installer.

I use My Uninstaller which costs money but even it doesn't get everything.

Still quite good.
