Many programs store information about themselves in the Windows Vista registry; these programs add new file extension associations and install components of their own. Far too often, the unistallation methods used by these programs fail to remove their information from the registry adding unnecessary bloat. After several series of installation/uninstallation, the Windows Vista registry becomes bigger and bigger; computer power declines and the program access times increase. The Scan Registry tool of WinTools.net serves for periodic registry cleaning of the registry and for correcting incorrect registry records.
Run WinTools.net and select Scan Reg tool:

Press Scan button to registry cleaning process and wait for the end of the scanning process:

Any removed registry keys will be placed to Backups list of Scan Registry tool. You can always restore the removed registry keys if you have need of doing this.

Manual removing of registry keys:
Some programs after the uninstalling process or after their removing from PC leave their own registry keys in registry.
