Why should you uninstall a software program?

Because the installation of a program is more complicated than just one executable file. Programs these days, install a suite of files all over your computer, from Dynamic Link Libraries (*.DLL), to entries in the registry. If you just remove one part, it will not run, but you will be left with useless files and entries, which slow your computer down. The company who wrote the software are the best people to know, where all the files went. So use their 'Uninstall' program. Windows also keeps note of where things went and can also remove it, using the Uninstall utility. If the uninstall information file is missing, then it will be stuck. Additional uninstall utilities can do a search, based on program information and have a good stab at finding all the bits and removing them. There are several good reasons why you should use a stand alone uninstall utility. Here is a step by step guide on how to uninstall software that helps explain why you should use uninstall utility when trying to remove software with registry issues and problems. Try using the Add / Remove programs utility in Windows Control Panel if you have not done so already.
