Hi John,

http://portableapps.com/node/11461

One thing of note - the comment that it installs as a service.  You may 
need to stop the service and disable it before Winpooch will uninstall 
properly.  Also one poster gives a list of system changes Winpooch makes 
including registry.  Reversing these step should help.

Kind regards,

Julian
