Checking the Registry, I find a software uninstalled some ago is still
recorded under the Legacy entries. Any attempts to erase this from the
registry is denied.
Can these Legacies entries applying to a particular software title be made
able for removal from the Registry? - what steps are required to do so safely?

Try a Windows XP newsgroup. This is a .NET programming group.

Here's how to get there via the web interface:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
find the Windows XP category. Open it and find a group under XP for
your question.
