Lots of programs make numorous entries into the registry. To completely remove the program and associations, First back up the registry in case you need to restore it. In windows 95 make copies of user.dat and system.dat and in 98 or melinneum Go tostart> run> type scanreg> press enter twice.

After backing up: Go into Regedit, go to the Edit Menu, go to find and repeatedly search for the program name (or posibly the software mfgr.)deleting the keys, values, or data as they come up.
