Registry Cleaner Word search defective

hime3

After Software Uninstaller would not uninstall a program, installed via Windows.

Then used Registry cleaner to clear hundreds of program entries.

Then performed regedit.exe search to find hundreds more entries JV16 2011 missed.

Used Registry cleaner word search to clear some, but nto all remaining entries that I tediously removed by F3 delete clicks.

Why will Registry cleaner not find orphan entries?

Why will registry cleaner word search not find registry entries when the name is EXACTLY as the entries?

You should use PowerTools' Registry Finder, it makes this a lot easier.

Because I'm afraid it's impossible to detect all these items.

The Search Words feature allows the user to list only registry errors matching the given search words. In other words, using the Search Words doesn't make the Registry Cleaner to find more errors, but only to display errors matching the search words.
