SOLVED Uninstalled RealPlayer... File associations left behind?

[deleted30]

Hey there. I recently uninstalled RealPlayer, however, when I click Start, then Default Programs then Associate a file type or protocol with a program, some RealPlayer . extensions are left behind, such as .ra (RealAudio) and .rv (Real Video). I opened the registry and went to HKEY Classes Root and deleted all the Real Player . associations as per the Defualt Programs menu. But, I refreshed the page and they are still there. There's a pic attached.

I'm not positive but CCleaner may cleanup those file extensions that are no longer being used.

Yeah I have CCleaner, I might give it a try. Thanks, I'll report back.

Clifford you're a genius! Apparently CCleaner caught 221 registry errors, most of them were about RealPlayer and RealPlayer extensions. It is now removed from the Set Associations page. Thanks so much! I never knew CCleaner could do so much... Most people say CCleaner is just for the cleaning part, and not for Registry but apparently it does a great job on both situations.
