I looked at the DisplayFusion installer and it doesn't remove the entry either. I'll fix these both right away, so that the next version will fully remove itself as expected. Thanks! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/detrimental-uninstall-detritus-determines-doom/?ID=444ea0e3-0e60-4325-a840-22d6cc513f88 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:40:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/detrimental-uninstall-detritus-determines-doom/?ID=444ea0e3-0e60-4325-a840-22d6cc513f88 ClipboardFusion Of interest, after uninstallation from Win7 x64, CF 2.0.2 leaves behind the Startup registry entry:

either:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg\ClipboardFusion

or

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (ClipboardFusion data entry)

I say 'either/or' because curiously the first time I uninstalled it, the first key remained (leaving the System Configuration Startup entry), but the second time I uninstalled the first key was gone, but the second key was left behind (amounting to the same Startup entry). Machine had been fully restarted between installs/uninstalls.

Weird.

(Don't ask why I uninstalled it twice - no slight to the utility - it's quite nice!) ]]>
