Tips for Uninstalling a software.

Sometimes we are asked to completely remove a shared DLL file which is not in use by any other application while un-installing a software. We must be carefull while removing that particular software's DLL File. If it is an Active-X controls file then don't remove it. Cause it can sometimes cause Blue-Screen Error. If this error happens the we can recover our system by running our system in Safe Mode and then going to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Recovery and then Opening the System Restore. Warning: In safe mode Dont,t try to stop the Recovery by removing battery of Laptop/NoteBook or Un-plugging the power of Desktop PC.
