Note that I said "should." On my Windows 7 system, MenuUninstaller kept crashing--until I followed the instructions on and enabled the "Run as administrator" option for the program. That did the trick.

MenuUninstaller is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It's freeware!

Of course, I'm sure some readers will point out that many programs can be uninstalled fairly easily via their Start Menu entries--but that still involves a bit of clicking and searching. And not every program adds its uninstaller to Start.

You also have the option of using a dedicated utility like , which often does a better job removing all traces of a program than the developer's own uninstaller. But even that can be slow to load up all your programs, and you still have to search for the one you want.

No, I'm definitely liking MenuUninstaller, which puts the uninstall option in the single most logical place.
