Reply to Impulse in Fences

Unfortunately, uninstalling a Windows program is virtually never a 100% clean operation -- there's usually residue (sometimes troublesome, sometimes not). Unless the maker's bottom line is obviously reduced by Impulse, it seems likely that it will remain in place as well as keep its same design. Still, maybe these comments and complaints do help. Maybe they aid the company in estimating the number of potential sales which might be lost due to Impulse......

Okay, that seems to imply that Impulse does NOT uninstall itself cleanly. Many companies go so far as to make their app.s portable and when done that way, it's easy for users to get rid of them via simple deletion of a single file. That Impulse isn't a single file portable app and evidently doesn't cleanly uninstall certainly seems to say something, BTW, I've had Revo Uninstaller loaded for some time now. While it and others like it are great tools, as you cautioned,

Whether Impulse has real benefits or not, someone suggested just "deleting" Impulse after using it. I take it they meant to uninstall it. Does anyone know whether it uninstalls cleanly and fully, including reg entries? Most programs leave behind trash when uninstalled, but maybe Impulse is a happy exception?

Hello All- I totally agree with bit-101. In fact, I could not agree more with the points he makes. Some replies here have tried to paint Impulse as a wonderful benefit to end users. While it might be useful for those folks who own many different products from this company, I would guess that the vast majority own one (maybe two?) programs. And in that context, Impulse comes across as partially an update tool, but even more as some kind of marketing gimmick.</
