RegCleaner 4.3?.. You have had no problem with it because it doesn't do as
much as you think it does.. Install Apple Quicktime, then do a full
uninstall of it.. now run RegCleaner and see if it takes it all out of
registry..
The old RegClean that people used with Win 9x/ME should not be used with XP
as you have already been shown, and again, even in Win 9x, RegClean didn't
do a whole hell of a lot..
