Some entries may also reside in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

MeD's Movie Manager and Google Chrome are two examples.

Are there any other locations where programs may reside? I have a pre-installed trial of Norton Online Backup that I really want to get rid of.
