    I just installed a fresh copy of windows and went to the Add/Remove Windows Components thingy in the control panel to get rid of the crap I don't want or need. To my shock I discovered it merely removes these items from the start menu, so Windows Messenger, MSN, MSN Gaming Zone, Movie Maker, Frontpage, Outlook express and more are still cluttering up my Program Files folder and registry with no apparent way of removing them! What are the bastards playing at! Grrr! :mad:

    "if crap cleaner deleted that crap, it would be the best crap cleaner in the world."

    Crap Cleaner won't remove the 'native' programs in Windows...only programs you have installed yourself such as MS office, Antivirus, Winzip etc etc. Thats what it seems to be after looking in the uninstall section in Tools.
