The W98 registry is bloated so I'm going to kill it tomorrow. How do I delete all the files listed in add/remove programs?

How to using regedit

Go to Start->run and type "Regedit".

Then open up "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" then "SOFTWARE" then "MICROSOFT" then "Windows" then "CurrentVersion"
Then "Uninstall"

You will then see a list of all the stuff, in Add/Remove programs. Only delete what you are sure of. Some microsoft software uses ungodly long key names instead of soemthing recognizable. If in doubt, highlight it and read the stuff on the right side and see if you can figure out what it is.

The regclean programs people have mentioned might help too... But what I gave you was the ultra geek way of doing it :P

Just be careful, regedit can put you in an awful fix if you screw around with it.
