I've never understood why Microsoft couldn't come up with a program to
clean its own registry, although that would take money. Ahhh, now I
understand! :/ Leaving the registry cluttered with old junk is like
driving a new car full of fast food wrappers in the back seat. It
doesn't affect how the car runs, but it affects how I feel about
driving a new car. Personally, I'd prefer a cleaner registry, if for
no other reason than I'd prefer it. MS could do it, but they won't.
Why clean up the registry with all the other tons of bloat and unused
subroutines buried in their many patched products.

If you do decide to try one of those cleaners, be sure to backup the
registry first. I'd suggest a free backup program called ERUNT. It
won't let you down like Windows Restore can sometimes do.

programs, that have been uninstalled, in my pc. I would like to clean it up.

for various reasons, software may
fail to completely uninstall all their
data.

however, in most cases it is not
clearly evident that they left
orphaned keys in the registry
and orphaned files/folders on
the disk

my recommendation is to use
ccleaner and microsoft's one
care online scanner.

they will reconcile the registry
nice and neat and perhaps
clear up those bits n pieces.

incidentally, how/where are
those bits n pieces showing up?
