Unable to uninstall Express Edition thoroughly

I am unable to uninstall Express Edition thoroughly. It left a bunch of things like file associations!

I made the mistake of installing Visual Studio 2005 C++ Express Edition on a system with Visual Studio 6, thinking they could co-exist. Now I am trying to fix my mistake, but the uninstall left a lot of junk!

    I'd also be interested to know if there is a utility out there that replaces files file associations with windows defaults or if there is a setting within windows that can do this. It seems a common problem with various applications and uninstalling.

    A pet hate of mine are programs that automatically associate files to a given application without permission, this should not be allowed imo.
