free, small, fast uninstaller replacement
Nxqd3051990:
Does Safarp remove all relative things of uninstalled software ?
I've used Your Uninstaller for months, it does well :)
Find sth faster and cleaner

Here's one you guys may not have heard of, Revo Uninstaller. It's freeware. I still prefer Safarp though because it is very lightweight.

Safarp simply invokes the uninstall routine registered in Windows, just like the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs (ARP) applet.
It's really just a lightweight version of ARP that doesn't take sooo... long.... to.... load.... (what-the-#$% is ARP doing when it loads anyway?).

I saw a description of that somewhere, probably on The Old New Thing blog. It does a lot of (imho, superfluous) crap, to detect things like how much the app is used, how big it is, etc. This means lot of registry access (not too bad), and a whole bunch of harddrive access as well, for each and every entry.
Lashiec:
But it seems that Safarp does the same, judging by Nighted's screenshot. Does it use a different method?
