The only keys I can find with Freenet 0.7 when searching the registry for "freenet" (other than the usual cached things like recently opened files) are related to the Start Menu folder, the background service and the .freenet-tmp file extension. All are harmless and if you have disabled the service in the control panel and deleted the Freenet install and menu folders, Freenet is deactivated. However, this does not remove the background service which is ugly. Also if the user is paranoid about being found out to have been running Freenet, the file extension and service keys are evidence of an install. At a minimum, since we added the service keys we should remove them on uninstall. Software that has no uninstall command leaves a bad taste in my mouth usually, but I love Freenet and its an Alpha/Beta so I give you guys a pass =) -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire
