The application never installed due to the incompatibiltiy issue so nothing to remove from add remove programs. The registry (Win 7 side) though is littered with the app like it was installed. This is why I thought that possibly the registry is shared. I am going to attempt the registry whack on Friday when the user is gone I'll post the reults after...

I know it may be you did but you were not clear on that. I am referring to the Windows 7 side not the virtual machine side.

It never hurts to export the keys to a file first in case you get a little too aggressive or grab the wrong key. -sc From: Robert LeBlanc [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 12:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Win 7 and Virtual XP registry Yes I am talking about the Win XP mode. So it would be relatively safe to whack all the registry entries I find for this particular app in the Win 7 registry?

Does Win 7 Pro and windows XP virtual mode share the same registry? I have an app(1) that I tried installing on the Win 7 side but ended up not being Win 7 compatible so I installed it on the Win XP Virtual side and it works great. We are having a problem with another app(2) on the win 7 side and I think it has to do with the app(1) that couldn’t be installed on the win 7 side so I’d like to clean up the registry but don’t want to impact the win xp side. Is there a part of the registry dedicated to the Win Xp virtual side? Thanks, Robert Robert LeBlanc Network Administrator MCP,MCSE Anesthesia Associates of New Mexico, P.C.
