How to Remove LogMeIn Files in the Registry
LogMeIn is a remote computer access program for the Windows operating system. The program allows you to access a home or office computer without the expense of additional equipment and custom programming. LogMeIn, like other Windows-based programs, is easily removed from your computer, but sometimes fragments of the program remain and have to be removed manually from the computer's registry file.
