   The surest registry cleaner is the manual method.  Do a 'run' command followed   
   by   
   regedit.  Once in regedit, you can search for strings like 'communicator' and   
   'netscape', etc.  You can then delete them.  You have to be careful that you   
   don't   
   delete the wrong things.  I would recommend a registry backup, such as that   
   done   
      
   as part of an emergency repair disk.  Just be careful.  I assume you did the   
   normal   
   uninstall through the Add/Delete option of the control panel, for starters.
