Cleaning up \windows

I want to get my windows directory as slim as possible, I have been successful in moving some applications but some others like coreplayer, quickgps, adobe pdf, do not go so quietly. I am getting a few "failed to parse value name" errors. I have changed the paths in the registry.. AFAIK.

here is an example of the reg for adobe (the files are located in \program files\adobe pdf):

Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf]
@="AdobeReaderLE.25"
"Content Type"="application/pdf"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobeReaderLE.25]
"EditFlags"=dword:00010000
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobeReaderLE.25\DefaultIcon]
@="AdobeReaderLE.exe,-154"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobeReaderLE.25\shell\open\command]
@="\\Program Files\\Adobe PDF\\AdobeReaderLE.exe "%1""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/pdf]
"Extension"=".pdf"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\AdobeReaderLE.25]
"EnableReflow"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\MASD]
"AdobePDF"="2_5_1_0_360303_00"
what am I doing wrong? I know there must be a way to install your apps somewhere besides the windows directory.

I have made many cabs that install to their own directory and they work fine: live search, myphone, RSS hub, htc calculator)
