Revo Uninstaller

In the past, when I wanna remove a program, I usually run the unintaller from Windows Add/Remove Program, for a clean uninstall, I usually restart immediately, open up program files and delete all of the left over directory, then I run CCleaner and make sure the program vanish completely from my PC. That was a lot of work, and may not be clean enough.

I came across a freeware, Revo Uninstaller.

What it does after one click:
1) Create a restore point
2) Analyze program before uninstalling
3) Run program uninstaller
4) Scan for left over files

That was neat!


Not only the uninstaller, it also has some built-in tools, like the Autorun Manager which lets you choose your startup program.

Well, everyone've been complaining how slow your windows start, why not delete some unnecessary startup program. Just highlight the startup you don't want it to start during startup, and delete entry. I have only 5 programs for startup, it's faster this way (although still can't compete with xp, which my sidebar has been taking a lot of time starting up, and I can't live without it. yet.)

The interesting part of this Revo Uninstaller is its Hunter Mode and the Drag and Drop Mode.

	The Hunter Mode, a crosshair like this appears on your desktop, just aim at any program interface or icon on the desktop and a context menu will show up for you to uninstall the pin-pointed program. This is useful when you know you have suspicious program but you can't find it anywhere in the uninstaller (Probably the program didn't install itself to the registry)
	The Drag and Drop Mode, works the same as the Hunter Mode, except that you drag the program interface or icon into the fire (as if you're throwing the program into the fireplace).

Interesting isn't it?

The built-in Junk Files Cleaner works almost the same as CCleaner, except that CCleaner even scans for unused registry. Consider having both.

BE CAREFUL when uninstalling programs you don't know. You wouldn't want to accidentally uninstalled any hardware drivers or windows component. Consult Google when you come across unknown program.
