Windows installer clean up utility

I recently found myself with a program that did not uninstall cleanly and it left enough of a mess that I could reinstall it. After some searching around, I found this tool from Microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

It discusses cleanup of Office installs on XP, but I found it to work fine on other programs on 64-bit Vista. Give it a try the next time you have a program that won't uninstall.
