I just used "Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall "FIle Scavenger" & the following
logs are today's date. Any chance one of them would have logged down the
uninstallation:

So the above entries only give an indication that a program was previously there &
was uninstalled but not the actual logs/date of when it was uninstalled? These entries
will remain there permanently or they can be removed?

Can you provide an example, say I'm uninstalling MS Office 2003, what is its logfile
name & in which folder it's located?
