I have rarely seen the program that didn't leave something where it shouldn't. This is less of a problem on Linux, where the package installer indexes every file an installation creates. Maybe Microsoft will finally do the same someday...

Will keep RevoUninstaller in mind. In the old days, some software will not remove the desktop shortcut when the software is uninstalled. At least Calibre removed all that but it did not remove the "Open With" entries when Calibre is uninstalled. Calibre also did not remove the config settings when it is uninstalled. It should at least ask the user, like Norton Security, if the user wants to remove the config settings completely or leave the config settings for a future reinstall. If a person decides not to have Calibre anymore, the only way to remove Calibre completely from the system is to reformat the hard disc/reinstall Windows.
