This has been added to my repertoire of programs for keeping windows honest. I found this in this months PCWorld mag.

Do complete uninstalls of programs, and clean out your system.

Revo Uninstaller solves an all-too-common problem: Programs whose uninstallation routines are sloppy. Not uncommonly, when you uninstall programs in Windows, they leave bits and pieces of themselves behind, such as Registry entries. This program promises to find all those bits and pieces and zap them so that when you uninstall software, your computer gets truly clean.
The program does more than just uninstall software. Revo Uninstaller also includes other cleaning tools, including an Autorun manager, that will show you all the programs that start on system startup--and lets you kill or remove any that you don't want run. And there's a very useful "Tracks Cleaner" that will remove traces of your browsing history, as well as traces left behind by Microsoft Office applications.

2. I think so

as its been I've had to spend a lot of time ferreting out the little bits here and there left over from windows uninstaller. I haven't had a chance to use this yet but I'm sure it won't be long as I am always trying out something new.
