Windows 7 and 8, BUG or FEATURE? VIRTUAL STORE

What is the purpose of the Virtual Store? Using either the uninstall program that came with some software or using Windows uninstall, I have removed Kodak printer, Legacy Genealogy, and Registry Cleaner software in the past two to three weeks. But all the software is still in Virtual Store after uninstalling. I have manually deleted it but wondered why uninstalling did not remove it.—Joe Brown

Delete the virtual store from the registry.

To locate the virtual store in the registry and to remove any unnecessary keys, follow these steps:

Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit.exe in the Programs list.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.

Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore

For any application registry keys that are no longer needed, right-click the key, click Delete, and then click Yes
