I need to remove all traces of EVE from a Windows computer I am passing on. Is it possible to remove all reg keys and DLLs from the PC? I know that generally the uninstall scripts don't get everything. I found this link here which helps: http://community.eveonline.com/support/knowledge-base/article.aspx?articleId=60 but it does not discuss removing any reg keys and DLLs, etc that might be scattered out there.
EDIT: I would prefer not to re-install Windows. |

I'm having trouble believing anyone cares that much about finding out you played EVE.
Just do some keyword searches to find and delete entries in the registry, repeat for hard disk files. |

Could you explain why you don't want to do this? If you have the right stuff (a cd or usb or whatever that has Windows on it and the appropriate key) it takes only a few minutes to press next and fill out a couple of fields like pc-name and accountname, the rest is all a matter of waiting.

Passing it back to work most likely.

You cannot uninstall everything used by eve because they are shared resources, like DirectX. Get rid of the files outlined in the article and check if there's anything in regedit under "CCP". |

It is quite simple. You destroy your PC, preferably by casting it into a black hole.

Black hole -> sleepers -> sleeper caches -> highsec -> miners -> market.
Nope.
Soon everyone will know you played EVE online. |

to get rid of registry entry just uninstall eve and then run the CCleaner (google it). This should remove all registry entries which aren-¦t used anymore |

Use the EVE uninstall and pass it back to local. Trust me they'll reimage it anyway, without the slightest remorse + nobody cares you played EVE + local guys usually don't care + who da fak cares? Unless...you're sending it back for audit...in which case...."may the odds be ever in your favour"

The simplest way is to run the CCP uninstall, then manually delete the system32 folder. This will ensure there is no trace of anything from Eve left. |

My favorite electronic device adjusting tool should do the trick.

You can't. Eve gets into your very soul and you can never be rid of it.
On topic - stop using PCs to do thinngs you shouldn't be doing on them and you won't have this problem in the future.

You can try using a bowling ball. Roll it into your computer 20 or 30 times and it should remove eve, along with every other component of the computer.
Eve saves files in two locations (3 actually) The installed folder (your client) In your documents folder under games/eve. To find this, log into eve, take a screenshot. Find the screenshot.
3rd is a hidden folder in your user profile (Google appdata all one word). Check all user accounts including the default.
After that, some registry keys are left. Use a registry cleaner (powertools macecraft works and ccleaner should also work).
After all of that is done, shred your free space (option available in ccleaner I believe). What that does is overwrite all unallocated and free space on your drives with zeros. This makes it much more difficult to obtain data from the drive (undelete). Not impossible, but pretty much impossible.
Yaay!!!!
