given the com class name eg. someunwantedClass, how would one proceed to
remove completely from the registry? is there a tool for this task?
removing from filesystem is easy enough with searches.
 
thx


so that will remove corresponding entries from registry hkcr, hklm,....etc,
including interfaces, proxystubs?

yup, it should. It got placed there by a regsvr32 /i, so /u is the opposite.
