Question or Symptom

I'm having some configuration issues with Putty and I'd like to uninstall it and start over, but I haven't found the configuration files.


Resolution

putty -cleanup will "uninstall" it. There is no 'program install' per se, it is just an executable and uses a registry entry to store things that would usually be in ~/.ssh.

The key in question is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY
