How do i know what setups and installers contain?

This is a discussion about How do i know what setups and installers contain? in the Windows Software category; Im a little paranoid about programs when i come to uninstall them because they always seem to leave something behind. I am wondering if there is a way to see what they install or change on my system so i can completely remove it.

The only way to make sure you delete everything a program installs is to go into the registry files and remove it in there.
 
There are registry cleaner programs that will do the job for you. Follow this link and check out the registry programs there. Some are free and some aren't. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?id=15&sort=7
