Thank you wisecleaner_admin. I would like to suggest you to improve the portable version either removing these keys during the application closing or avoiding the portable version itself to add these keys at all.

Greetings, the Wise Care 365 3.9.5 uninstaller leaves at least these registry keys: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\WShredFile HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\WShredFile HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\WShredFile HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\WShredFile because of this, if you right-click on a file in the desktop, you still can read the "destroy file/folder" option (please note that I translated "destroy file/folder" from italian), even if the program is uninstalled. My operating system is Windows XP service pack 3 italian. I tried the "Giveaway of the Day" 3.9.5 version. I tried to make the application portable before uninstalling. A reboot did not help. Regards.
