Raymond Chen, a popular Microsoft blogger, recommends that you not worry about leaving keys because it's per-user data anyway and in many environments it's preferable to leave it behind. Definitely do not try to enumerate all user profiles to remove the keys for the other users because in the case of roaming profiles you'll likely corrupt a lot of stuff. If you want to remove all traces of your program, one alternative is to write your own SHMessageBoxCheck dialog and store the preference wherever you want.

This only appears to be an issue with VS2008, and it may have been fixed by the time you are reading this, so try to run the project first, and if you click on one of the 'TaskDialog' buttons and see it popup (ie you dont see an exception) then you do not need to take these steps, if you do get an exception, follow the steps below:

To Run the VistaBridge Project in Visual Studio 2008, you must re-create the Application Manifest file. To do this, open the manifest already in the project, copy all of the text from it to notepad and then delete the manifest file from the project. Next, right click on the "VistaBridgeDemoApp" project and select Add New Item. Choose an Application Manifest File and MAKE SURE you name it as follows: VistaBridgeDemoApp.exe.manifest and then press enter. Now double click on the new manifest file, select all the text and replace it with the text that was copied out of the old manifest. You can now Build the solution and the Demo App should now operate properly. If you still have problems, try closing Visual Studio and then Re-opening it.
