How can I insure that if an application is not working then all the changes made to the registry is automatically deleted

Sorry Indian_Combat, but I don't think you would find a utility that could automatically delete any keys created by a naughty programme. What you could do, however, is to back up the registry or update your Emergency Repair disk (if using NT) every time you're about to install a new programme so you can recover the registry in case of trouble. If you are using Windows 98, you can use Scanreg in DOS mode and select to recover the registry as it was on a date prior to the installation of the programme.
