Yeah, it's long, it's boring, but this is the *only* I know of that ensures a 100% clean system. Just to make things a little faster wrt Windows reinstall, I usually install the system once (system + drivers, that's all) then take a snapshot using Clonezilla Live. Then I continue the software installs. When time comes for a new system install, I start from the snapshot I recorded on a thumbdrive or burnt on a DVD. Thus, I only have the software part to deal with. At least, that's what I do for others as my own systems are all Free software ;-) HTH, -- Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Bordeaux -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cleaning Windows
The best cleaning tool I have found for Windows is to use a Debian/Ubuntu installer disk and accept all the defaults..;) Mark On Sat, Jan 14, 2012 at 8:44 AM, Tom wrote: > Hi :) > Is there a good tool for uninstalling programs in Windows?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cleaning Windows
Hi :) Yes, thanks Doug. In Xp its Start "button" - "Control Panel" - "Add/Remove Programs" but it can't add programs and does a really bad job of removing them. Usually programs provide their own uninstaller but again those seem to be less than great. I think Revo-uninstaller is the one i was looking for so thanks guys for that suggestion :) I have a feeling that i really need to reinstall Windows after deleting it's partition and then apply all the updates and reinstall just the programs we need without the tons of junk that got added but that could take days and days on the slow machine. Plus the installer Cds are missing for some of the programs. So, i was hoping i could avoid it. Revo might be the key. Many thanks all! :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Sat, 14/1/12, doug wrote: From: doug Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Cleaning Windows To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Saturday, 14 January, 2012, 20:52 On 01/14/2012 10:44 AM, Tom wrote: > Hi :) > Is there a good tool for uninstalling programs in Windows?

They are all by and large snake oil. Firstly there is no need to clean the registry, because orphaned entries have almost NO effect on computer performance. Why? Because applications automatically go straight to their registry entries - they don't have to search the registry. Secondly, there are myriads of people who have used the CC Cleaner registry utility and have ended up with an unbootable computer. Just do a search through the Microsoft Answers forums to see them. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
