    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

    ATITool registry key

    Hello,

    During ATITool installation, the following registry key was added to my registry:

    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}"

    After uninstalling the program, this key remained. I tried to delete it through the registry editor but it returned the following error:

    "Cannot delete {85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}: Error while deleting key."

    I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit by the way. I also tried to change permissions for the key and deleting in safe mode, but neither of those worked either.

    Any ideas on how i can remove this key? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Windows Program Registry Key Missing (or unidentifiable)

    Hello,

    I'm trying to remove World of Warcraft from my programs and features list, for I'm worried it's taking up significant data, and if it weren't I still dislike it being there and misinforming me of its presence.

    I tried looking at the registry keys but there isn't a listing that matches what I see in the programs and features list.

    I'm at a loss.

    Any help would be appreciated How can I determine if a registry key belongs to a specific program? :)
