Description
A very fast and compact alternative to the Windows Add/Remove Programs functionality. Runs up in only a few seconds, allows filtering of program names in the uninstall list, and with a few mouse clicks allows the user to remove a program (using the programs very own uninstaller). Fixes issues with the grid used to display the programs to be uninstalled.
Review
If you've ever tried to uninstall programs with the Windows Add or Remove Programs control panel, you know how long it takes to open. That's because it's gathering a bunch of information you probably won't even need. QuikUninstall, by contrast, simply displays a list of program names, so it opens in no time.
An as-you-type filter helps winnow down the list--a great idea. Unfortunately, uninstalling programs isn't as simple as it should be. If you left-click the name of a program, QuikUninstall highlights it but doesn't let you do anything else. To uninstall a program, you need to right-click its name without left-clicking it. Also, if you're not using Windows XP, you may need to download the .NET framework to make QuikUninstall work.
We're thrilled someone is offering a speedy, free uninstallation utility, but QuikUninstall needs some polish before we can give it our wholehearted recommendation.
