    This wis why Microsoft is trying to bring us all over to Modern Apps - to replace the Win32 API system that basically gives and requires indiscriminate access to the filesystem. Modern apps are compartmentalized and register advanced features instead of plopping crap in system folders and the registry.

    Sometimes I miss the days before the windows registry. Remove a program and it was gone.

    That would be before windows 3.1 Windows 3.1 had a registry.

    Windows Registry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia yep, back in the days where if you wanted a program gone you threw the floppy in the trash.

    I had 2 Atari 800 Xls and 1 Atari 1200 XLT with dual 5 1/4 inch disk drives. Then I moved up to a Tandy 1000 rsx with Deskmate. My first Windows computer was a Packard Bell with either Window 3.1 for Work Group or Windows 3.11 for Work Group. Not sure which one it was now.

    I hate to admit it, but yes I remember them...

    We had one kid on the block (kinda like Cartman), his mom bought him anything he wanted. He had one, made all the rest of us so jealous *Biggrin

    Agreed.

    Moving programs to a new HDD was a doddle too.

    Another "uninstaller" to compliment the 5 or so different uninstallers already included in Windows? *Sick


    Windows 10 Needs a Better App Uninstaller, Users Claim [​IMG]



    Microsoft already built a new uninstaller and included it with Windows 8 that removes every file and other piece of the installed program but its only applies to 'Modern' applications. The desktop is 'legacy' and will not get new features (e.g. another uninstaller) other than those now being built as Modern applications such as Cortana, Start-menu and the Control Panel.

    Why are people surprised when their machine runs like poo after installing and uninstall volumes of 'legacy' applications over long periods... Your computer is not a taxi and you're just asking for trouble.

    Why are people surprised when their machine runs like poo after installing and uninstall volumes of 'legacy' applications over long periods... Your computer is not a taxi and you're just asking for trouble. To M$ desktop applications may be "Legacy" but to me and millions others are "Bread and Butter" and I can't see "Modern APPs" taking their place all the way in any foreseeable future, not for desktops and more powerful laptops anyway. In any case such a large base of desktop programs almost guarantees desktop APPs to be relevant for a very ling time. In lieu of that, MS would be wise to make decent uninstaller for them although Revo Uninstaller and the likes of it solve that problem just fine. MS, being privy of most intricate details of OS is in the perfect position to make uninstaller 100% effective. Why they didn't do that long ago is beyond me.

    Why do you even install cr@p that you don't even need? No need to uninstall applications anymore

    Don't know which "cr@p" you're referring to, if "Metro APPs" I may agree about most but they re easy to get rid of anyway, no need for any uninstallers.
