Ultimate Predator Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 None of the things I mentioned are there. Thats the thing, they're all uninstalled, spare folders deleted, registry values left over (cleaned up) - they're all gone as far as I can tell. EDIT: Soughted out Google Earth and DVD Shrink, not Office XP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Where does it show Office XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Under Cleaner Settings - Applications - Applications - Office XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Ah, misunderstood you. It's funny, I have Office XP, and both XP & 2003 are listed under there. No idea what it causing it to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Anyone else out there who does (thanks for the help though Rob - I don't mean for that to sound sarcastic!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 In winapp.ini it appears to check: [Office XP] Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common [Office 2003] Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common for the applications.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 22, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2005 Don't forget WinXP can duplicate some registry keys. For example many or should I say most or all of my programs are duplicated in: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-299502267-1078081533-725345543-1003\Software The location on your system would most likely be under a different key.

Ultimate Predator Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I'll do another look in the registry for Office XP - thats the only one left now though, everything else got cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I sorted it out. Found an obscure subkey under Microsoft - Office. Thats gone, so it s all fine now, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I also have various softwares listed under Applications that I either no longer have installed, or never had in the first place. I do not worry too much about them, except that with winapp2 the list gets pretty long. However, shouldn't that be something that Ccleaner "Issues" could try to clean up?

Ultimate Predator Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 Don't know. All I know is I had bits left behind in the registry that I had to get rid of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
