Re: Informative instructions

I believe the items that the uninstall 
program cannot remove vary from 
program to program.  Sometimes they
are programms (such as .dll files) 
that the registry thinks may be used
by other programs. Other times 
the files seem to be program output -- 
for instance, if you uninstall
Microsoft Word you might not want the 
uninstall utility to delete any Word 
documents -- you probably just want
it to delete the Word program. 

Usually the items that you must 
remove manually are in the folder 
where the program was installed.
For instance, suppose program X
is installed in
C:\Windows\Program Files\X.
After you run the uninstall program 
use Windows explorer to find folder
X and manually delete its contents.

Hope this helped.
