Locate the program you are uninstalling and Right Click the Icon then choose Uninstall.



Click yes to the warning and choose the Uninstall Mode.

Choose the Advanced option and then click Next.



This will launch the programs built in uninstaller. Be patient it can take several seconds.

Once the uninstaller is done click Next.



Revo Uninstaller will now scan for leftover information. Be patient it can take several seconds.

Look at ALL of the entries to ensure they relate to the uninstall.

Next click Select All > Delete to remove the entries.

Click Next.

Yea, it is amazing that some of the smallest downloads will create huge amounts of junk in the registry that aren't removed by it's own uninstaller.

Running CCleaners Registry option right after Revo sometimes produces a few more results as well.
