Question Ewwww... OK, Anyone know of a GOOD Uninstall Progrm or "Cleanup" Utility Program??

Hi Folks,

Well, as a new iPAC owner, with about $1400. now invested in my PCC and software and smart card and extended battery, I am now not feeling real great about having this "Pocket Mechanic" utility! I have another program that does some of the same things...called MemMaid and MemMaidClener. But wonder if since I have this registered now if I am safe or still at risk?

OK, my MAIN question is around uninstalls. We all know how uninstalling from a regular PC using Windows XP or somethng similar can be incomplete and leave "straggler" files in the registry and all, sometimes not causing ny problems, and sometimes making for a real mess right away or down the road.

Anyone have any utility they like that seeks out empty files, unlinked files, and other things, that is safe and user-friendly, but useful to make sure to not only keep a clean PCC and keep up the speed and programs working well, but also keep as much free space as possible? They have many of these for regular PC's. Norton makes some and several other companies, so I would be surprised if they there were not ones for PCC's as well. I have had 4-5 uninstalls recently where it said "Uninstall unsuccessful" -- it couldn't delete all the files, even though I made sure they were closed and not running when I started the uninstall process.

Thanks for any suggestions or help on this. I just got my iPAC for DUMMIES book today, and actually it's not bad...alot of hints and tricks and stuff my manual doesn't explain, not to mention many other things the manual leaves out as most manuals do. In case you need to know for your recomendation of an uninstall or clean up utility, I have an iPAC hx2755.

Thanks very much, and hope you alll have a great weekend!
