Bad uninstalls leave trouble behind

Don't you hate it when you uninstall software only to find its left behind files, code, and Registry entries that clutter your disk and can interfere with other software?

"Cleaning Up Messy Uninstalls" is the subject of the lead item in my column this week at Windows Secrets.

I also discuss three other topics:

• Theft-Prevention Software: How does it work? Is it worthwhile?
  
• PC "forgets" disk drive: Why? And how to fix it.
  
• Curing audio and video "Skipping"

Access to these items is by a kind of honor-system principle: You decide what the content is worth, and whatever you decide to pay lets you in to *all* the paid-edition content (not just my columns) for a full year.
