Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is advised.
Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions:
• Remove Windows Installer
• Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does perform the following functions:
• Provides a dialog box in which you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer
To do this, select the programs that you want in the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
• Removes the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select
If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.

From my journey, those are actually not the entire answer. - have you ever observed that your laptop looks to take a at a similar time as to boot up / down? extra desirable than it used to? Say formerly you extra Norton AV? it style of feels that some Norton products (merely AV?) are enormously invasive and get everywhere on your registry. you're able to do worse than get carry of a demo / unfastened "registry optimiser" which will music down maximum, if not all, of the leftover bits and supply you the choice to eliminate them. I used WinAso's "Registry Optimiser" and 3B utility's "homestead windows Registry fix professional" and my device is now plenty swifter and rarely hangs. i'm not endorsing those products - nor ensuring them. They labored for me - that is as much as you... or you're able to desire to, in case you're very courageous, attempt modifying your registry... yet i did not inform you to try this...
