WinXP Registry - Incredimail Removal

I'm trying to remove Incredimail from my father's machine, which has WinXP
Home Ed. The best I could find was the following article:

http://www.oeupdates.com/Uninstall-remove-IncrediMail.html

and I followed as much as I could, but apparently Incredimail has moved much
of its information to different places. I removed everything that I could
find (files, folders, registry keys, etc.) that was in the article, though.
There is a folder of registry keys, located at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Incredimail

Will it harm the machine to delete that entire folder from within the
registry? If so, does anyone there have experience with Incredimail
removal. It had appeared gone, but I'm having strange browser display, so I
downloaded Firefox to see what it would look like, and the first thing it
did upon Mozilla installation was changed my default search to incredimail,
which is what made me look through the registry, yet again, only to find
what I entered, above. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Unfortunately, I had already tried to remove it w/add/remove programs,
rather than its own uninstaller, and the windows cleanup utility is not
seeing it. I wish I knew whether or not I could just remove the Incredimail
folder from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software in the registry, but don't know if it
will hurt anything. If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Give these a go but this probably has nothing to do with your original
issue.

Shouldn't be but you can rename the profile(while logged on as local admin),
then when the user logs on again a new profile will be created from the
image in \default user. You can then copy over the items you need from the
renamed profile. Copy the folder contents not the folders themselves. When
your sure you have all you need, you can delete the renamed profile(s). Use
the import function of your e-mail software.

As far as the original problem I've no idea with what you posted. You might
try providing details and posting in one of the IE groups.
