- Hard reset your phone.
- Export your registry. I use DotFred's Taskmanager. http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
- If you used SpbBackup then I would recommend running another backup.
- Install the program in question.
- Export your registry.
- If you used SpbBackup then I would recommend running another backup.
- Use a registry comparison utility to check the difference between the two registry files. I use Registry Comparison Utility http://www.tonysfreeware.com/download5.htm.

This should give you a good idea what registry keys are modified. If you used SPBBackup then you can use the desktop companion to check if any new files were added that are not in the .cab file.

- Finally, restore the previously created backup to return your phone to a pre-hard reset condition.

I have used this method before and it only takes about 2 minutes to go though the whole process.
Excellent suggestions and very logical troubleshooting/isolation steps. Thanks very much for hanging with me.

I was thinking about using this application:

Hard reset, take snapshot, install the app, take another, and compare. If I end up doing it, I'll report back.

Thanks also for pointing out the obvious, which somehow escaped me, about disabling the Today plug ins. It makes perfect sense.
