How Do I Remove Media Player Classic (MPC-HC 1.7.8) Completely?

[Guest]

How do I remove Media Player Classic (MPC-HC 1.7.8) leftover files after I uninstalled it? I Googled it and couldn't find anything and it won't show up on REVO uninstaller. I don't trust it and it's not very good compared to Windows Media Player. From what I understand it originates from Russia.

After I uninstalled it from the Control Panel's add/remove window, I discovered the MPC-HC icon included in the dialog box asking what player I should use when I placed a DVD in the drive. How do I remove all the leftover files? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium edition on Dell's Inspiron 580. Any help is appreciated.

Click Start, type regedit, open the registry editor, navigate to the following directory: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Media Player Classic, delete the key. That should do it!

Media player classic can be trusted. It's well known.

Thanks for the reply but I got as far as Gabest in the registry editor and could not find Media Player Classic. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks Again!

FALCON,

Thanks for your response.



Dr143655,

You suggested going into regedit.exe, the registry editor, and deleting it and gave me directions where to find it:

“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Media Player Classic, delete the key.”

It was not there so in the registry editor’s menu bar in edit, I clicked find and put in Media Player Classic and found all the entries. I do not like to fool with registry keys hearing from others how they crashed their systems so I created a restore point and exported the whole registry to another hard drive as I learned from a you tube tutorial. Then I deleted the individual keys that came up in the find search. I rebooted and it worked. The icon is gone and so are the other remnant keys. I rebooted several times and so far, my system did not crash. Anyway, I have a restore point and a copy of the damn registry, so thanks anyway but I do appreciate your response.
