THE WINDOWS UNINSTALLER
When you want to get rid of Microsoft Windows applications and all of its
scattered .INI files, icons, dynamic link libraries, and miscellaneous
directories, the most thorough program you can use is MicroHelp's $79.00
The UnInstaller.
This utility deletes Windows programs safely and efficiently and then
scours WIN.INI and other files to remove all traces of the deleted program.
Its smart enough not to eliminate any files associated with the deleted
program that other programs might need.
When you first run The UnInstaller, it optionally builds a database of links
between applications and their initialization files and DLL's.When you
select an applications for the program to uninstall, it displays an
elaborate list of options, including the names of files connected with
unwanted applications. Files that can be safely removed are already
selected, but files that probably should remain on your disk are flagged.
One thing the program does not offer is speed, and its graphic progress
indicator sometimes seems to slow to a halt, even when removing the simplest
application.
