    Default Temp Files

    I'm attempting to search for remnants from an uninstall. When I clean temp files, I do the following:

    - Disk Cleanup from Prog/acc. etc.
    - In search for files from Run/search, I put in *.tmp,*.chk,~*.*
    - CCleaner


    Is this sufficient or should I be searching elsewhere for program deletions?
    I hesitate going to the registry as am not registry knowleable.

    Thanks in advance.

    above should have read: In search for files from 'start/find files'

    most uninstalls leave remnants of files behind. Some uninstallers do a better job of cleaning up than others. i think what you are doing is sufficient enough.
    How Can I Reduce My Risk?
