No they don't suck at all.

When I am done with the uninstaller, it will remove them when you 
uninstall it.

And as far as Home and CurrentVersion go, I don't think you understand 
how they work.

Home is set by Mozilla when it starts. It is there so that application 
developers can find out where the CURRENT user profiles are.

CurrentVersion is set by the installer.

CurrentVersion will be used by the uninstaller to know which version to 
attempt to uninstall if no version is passed. It will also be used to 
guess what directory to install a new version in.

They actually work very well thank you.

Mike
