Since my last hurdle with Renowned Explorers where I had no choice but to reinstall a new Galaxy just to be able to play it, I've had the same issue with Pathologic Classic HD, so I had to redownload the slightly newer Galaxy to be able to launch it.

My question is, how do I find the registry files that galaxy leaves behind after uninstallation so this (possibly) doesn't happen again?? I'm pretty registry illiterate, but I know how to follow instruction.

At the moment, for an optional client, there only seems to be one option.

I have found this program very useful for cleaning up Windows registry. Give it a try.

And here it is from CNET in case you are unsure if it's legit or not:

Ah, I see your issue now. UGH! What a pos!!! I use ccleaner to do things like that (registry clean and clear out unwanted files from uninstalled programs), it works great.

Just deleting the folder won't clear the registry...

You see none in mine? No need for snark, laddie. Unless you're on your usual binge of Buckfast and Irn Bru, then I can understand. You should get some help for that.
