Hi,
Love AU in general, bit disappointed with some of the GUI enhancements, but then everyone has their own views of what looks good...
Ive recently been looking around at Uninstallers, and wondered how the one in AU differes from either using Add Remove Progs, or even the uninstall file from an application installation??
I was hoping that the prog may scan the registry after an install looking for leftovers (although a manual reg clean could do this), or even the ability to monitot an install and compare after removal so all the junk could be completely removed...
I dont see what AU Unintall Manager has to offer of any benefit..???

"You just can't trust those installation programs. Sure, they'll copy a new application's essential files to the hard disk, but they'll also add files to existing directories, modify the Registry, and generally litter the disk. Uninstall Manager lets you safely remove all unwanted files and return your system to its original state. This utility can be used to uninstall applications easily and quickly than the 'add/remove' control panel applet. This tool lists entries usually with reference to a physical uninstallation file located somewhere on your system.
Sometimes, by either manually deleting applications or from untidy uninstallation, the file that these entries refer may no longer exist and this results in an error when the corresponding entry is tried to uninstall. It is impossible to remove these orphaned entries manually. Using this tool, you can easily remove these invalid entries."
That's the benefit
