Complete uninstall of VirtualBox in Windows/Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.

Is there some semiautomated way to uninstall VirtualBox in Windows so,
that all the registry entries are deleted also? Just uninstalling VirtualBox
keeps them around. And there are too many of them to delete them all manually.
Reason for asking is, that I'm having "Failed to create the VirtualBox
COM object. The application will now terminate. Callee RC: E_NOINTERFACE
(0x80004002)" error when starting VirtualBox. And setting Vista Compatibility
mode does not help. And problem is under Windows 7 64 bit. And I have tried
manually using Run As Administrator (but it asked confirmation anyway)
during installation.
Maybe complete cleanup of COM registry of VirtualBox would help.

FYI. This is the link for the virtualbox specific mailing list. I am
on it and have found it very useful over the last few years.

Oops. My bad. I was replying to the wrong forum. Serves me right for
trying to answer a question in another group while answering a question
for someone else on the phone! *doh*

I did try removing "D7569351-1750-46F0-936E-BD127D5BC264" type library
from registry (after uninstalling VirtualBox). Then CClean found the VirtualBox
interfaces from this and allowed removal. But that did not help at all:(
Well it did help that much, that in Vista SP2 compatibility mode main
interface starts up, but staarting machine still fails with COM error.
