Use Ccleaner and clean the registry. It'll remove any entry linking to

As well as some possibly necessary items, according to some people who
post here.

I can't recommend that procedure to a novice operator.

In fact, I'm not a novice operator, and I find the list of items that
CCleaner offers to remove way too large for reasonable judgment calls...


CCleaner usually finds a big list of registry entries designated as
surplus after I've installed, uninstalled or upgraded anything big.
I've no idea what they are, but I always tell it to remove all of
them. Never had any problems as a result of doing this.
