How to eliminate Registry entries, long after the software was un-installed, and I have already (Using Full Permissions) manually deleted them many times. They keep coming back. Each night I run Macecraft's jv16PowerTools Registry Module, and there they are again. These in particular are from a company called SpeedBit. At one time I had both their "Video Accelerator" and "DAP-Download Accelerator Plus" programs installed. | ||||

The best way I've seen is CCleaner. Amazing tool, can backup registry entries, and works wonders as a maintenance tool. If they keep coming back, they're being recreated by something like a browser helper object, like a toolbar or something (which I believe DAP installs in IE). Check your IE installation and make sure that there aren't any crazy addons hiding there. | |||

DAP is considered spyware/malware for some anti-spyware programs, maybe try scanning your Windows with "Spybot: Search & Destroy" For future program deinstallations use Revo Uninstaller, it scans registry for uninstaller's leftovers :) | |||

You might also try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility direct from Microsoft. | |||

CCleaner for removing old registry entries. Revo uninstaller for uninstalling software and deleting all traces leftover. | |||

If you want to figure out which program causes the Registry entries to re-appear, then Process Monitor might help. It includes a tool that lets you monitor every Registry change and which EXE made it. | |||

Registry Easy does a good job of cleaning the registry including uninstalls. | |||

Be careful when using Revo uninstaller. When uninstalling a program it gives you a list of associated files that you can check to delete. The problem is that sometimes these files can be used b other programs and you might get errors later on. If you're not sure what the file is then leave it just in case. | |||
