I have AOL components pre-loaded into my computer. I eliminated most of them but...?

Question

I still have "AOL Coach Trainer" in my registry and I want to know if it's safe to just delete directly from the registry since it doesn't show up in the Control Panel's "Add or Remove Programs" section.

Answer 1

  If you are going to manually edit your registry, make sure that you do two things. Make a System Restore point just before you start and then whichever registry sub-key you are going to work on, export it. That will put it in a file on your dsktop and if you mess up you can just click on that file and it will restore it the way it was.  Somepeople export ther whole Sub-Tree but thhis is not advisable as it tends to cause problems and Microsoft says that you should only export the Sub-Key and that will take everything under it.
