    Just asking because it seems the audio programs when uninstalled leave crap all over the place and in the registry I use CCleaner for the Registry but im finding Kontakt libraries left all over the place when uninstalled

    If you go for Revo, I'd highly recommend the Pro version due to the additional features:
    • Extended scanning for leftovers
    • Real-Time monitoring of system changes & Logs Database
    • Multi-level Backup system - including full Registry backup
    The question is, should you go for Revo? They're pretty well hiding that the ~ 25 to 29 bucks are just for one year (subscription)!

    Mh, the thing with these search tools like UltraSearch or voidtool's Everything, which is based on the same principle, is that you need to know what you are looking for, aka the exact names (or parts of it) of folders and files. Even if you can add date, folder and stuff in the syntax, you probably miss some files.

    thats why the professors never use any app...they kno it all and delete by themselfs...

    but with this set up you will surely have mor suxxes as with ccleaner and windows deinstaller , when handling bitchy warez

    but hey when you kno the places ,also a professor use ultrasearch , cause it index all in splitsecond and make it accesable in a second

    ultrasearch sounds good Im getting it now and see how it does in mapping out the file address and indexing them so I can search and KILL

    Just a question i hope it marks shared files or does not index them only the ones installed

    UltraSearch and Everything create an own database, based on the MFT and swap it into the RAM.

    I've always used cr*cked versions so I can only say you can't go wrong with Revo Pro.
    "Total uninstall" is also very good.
    Of the free ones I haven't tested much.
