Hi,
I discovered
HKEY_USERS\......\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore\
today and was surprised to see all *.exe files I ever started.
I guess it's not that critical, but I would be glad if that could be implemented.
Cheers
Chris
There's other places where Windows stores .exe names too and it won't ever release them even if the program is uninstalled.
But what OS are you on?
XP/Vista/7 --> ?
Thanks!
@Superfast: Windows 7
@Andavari: I'm not familiar with the registry and how it operates. Can any software read the information in those places? Those .exe names show a good profile of the user.

It's just Windows being itself creating all that excess stuff, as for other programs reading it I really don't know, although it would be somewhat a waste of their time, but for sure a thorough registry cleaner is going to probably see them.
I've spent the last 13 years getting to know the registry well and where leftovers are and it caught me completely by surprise the other day using NirSoft RegScanner (freeware) when looking for references to remove from an uninstalled program which Total Uninstall didn't log during setup so it wasn't the program itself to blame that created the extra keys, it had to be Windows that created extra references, it was so deep it might as well been in a blackhole.
