I just mentioned Local Software as it covers all / most of that above.
But the CLASSES stuff is pretty much off limits because of the precision of knowledge required.

I do not use or recommend registry cleaners for this purpose. The aggressive cleaners (or aggressive use of any cleaner) often create more problems than they solve.
If you are using good software, uninstalling is generally not a problem.
