Question about 'Uninstall XP Powertoys in Windows Vista'

I have a question about Uninstall XP Powertoys in Windows Vista:

This uninstallation procedure does not work with Vista RTM ver. 6000. Tried various things to no avail, looks like a brute force registry deletion is the only way I can see to do it right now~

It just had this happen to me today. I did go to the registry and searched for Powertoys and was able to delete them all without any problems. Tried uninstalling several times and was told it couldn't do it. I was getting the magnifier on bootup and it's gone now, so I'm assuming it worked.
