Hey Tech Support Guys,

I'm not sure where to put a question like this so i figure i'd stick it here...we have had our computer for several years and many games and applications have been installed but not properly uninstalled...most of these remaining files are still on my computer...is there a way to clean out the C drive and get rid of left behind files so that they will never bother me again? Thanks for any help!!

If you mean XP's 'add and remove programs' left bits and pieces behind, then you will have to go to Program Files folder and clean them out yourself. Sometimes things are also left behind in the 'your-user-name/Application data' folder. Some also leave things behind in the registry, you'd have to search for it and remove them. I dont think there's an easy way to do these steps.
