Hi,
Have you tried the entries under Environment Variables?
(My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables)
You can edit or delete the entries pertaining to this.
Also check entries in the Win INI file through msconfig (Start > Run > msconfig)
and edit/delete.
However,there will still be registry entries.
A good registry cleaner will get rid of them.
For a good reg entry finder you could use
eg RegSeeker http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
But there are many other ones.
Type in the name of the program and find all the entries,just delete the invalid
paths.
In case of the reg cleaner,be careful,don't selete all the entries it finds!
Hope this helps :)
