since that link is dead, let me know WHAT info you are looking to delete from the registry and I may be able to be of some further assistance.

Thanks,

I want to re-install a shareware software. But I don't want to use any crack. I heard that by deleting some information from registry or somewhere from PC it would be possible to re-install any shareware software.

This would entirely depend on each different program you installed, where you installed to etc, there is no generic one place that is used by all the programs or something, you need to find out where it stored the information. If they programmed it to store it in the registry, then just search for the program's name and you will find some keys. But most programs have more security than storing that sort of information in plain text in your registry.

My only advice to you would be to install this program called REGMON (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html) from Sysinternals.

Run Regmon. Now try to reinstall the program and watch for the registry keys that are accessed. You can view the log for keys that were "Accessed" but not "Created" which would mean the program looked to see if the key existed and then made a decision to install or not.
