Hiya All
Well firstly let me explain......I'm a free games freak, I love playing games, but I don't want to pay full whack for them. So I download games that come with a 60 minute time trial, often by then I've had enough of sitting in front of the my PC and physically need to move. Hence I download, install, play till the time runs out then uninstall.
Now I come to my point.....in my registry I have loads, and I mean loads of entries for the games I've downloaded over the past few years, then uninstalled them using the add/remove progamme, so that they are now no longer on my machine. But the registry is full of entries from the deleted games, so how can I get rid of these entries safely with out turning my registry in to a spaghetti mess???? I only want to delete the game entries, nothing else. Unfortunately I can't remember all the names of the games I've downloaded over the past years, so can't just go into the registry and delete the games/entries etc. Now I am finding that I'll download a game and after installation, it turns out that I've already played it, but I don't remember when and cannot play again, which means uninstalling it from my system. And this drives me nuts!!!!
Does anyone have any advice on how to remove these entries from my registry safely? Now I'm not a novice on the computer but I'm no techhead either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
