i use regseeker, for removing a program's entries in the registry; it finds all entries in one run, and let's you delete them also at once

Do I also need to also delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and delete that branch" ?
or will this get deleted when I run a registry cleaner?

Scott
It would not hurt to delete that one, but it should clear out after a reboot.
nobus -

Does RegSeeker portable mean that I can run it without installing it on my computer (stand alone?)
it means that itrovides packaged software suitable for use on portable media, without leaving settings files on the host computer

what wikipedia says about it :  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portable_software
