Windows Installer Cleanup has been removed from MS download servers. You can download it from one of the following links:
Link 1
Link 2

The utility was retired by Microsoft on June 25, 2010, due to conflicts with Office 2007. It was replaced by a Microsoft Fix It, which can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/

if you have Office 2007

I've been using Revo Uninstaller. The pro version is better of course, you get a 30 day trial. It actually searches for leftovers and highlights the registry files associated with the program.

I wonder about programs that DON"T show up in the Add/Remove programs list. (XP-SP3).  I will, however, search my downloaded program files in the c:programs files. Thanks, Grinler and also congrats on the twins :-)

Finally found Wild Tangent under HP Games and removed it.

I used a very good program but its only a "loaner" as you have to buy after 30 days but anyway its called Revo Uninstaller Pro, it goes through after removal and picks up the odds and ends files that are associated and gets rid of them too. very nice program, no bugs that I could see.

KCSummer: I use Revo Uninstaller too. The Pro version is certainly better, but they also offer you a scaled down version for free that you can keep.  It has been helpful as a first step after you cannot find it in add/remove programs or in start-programs.
