I'm using it for registering .dll files, and I know about /u; /s; /i; and /n switches and nothing more...

Not all the dll are safe to unregister, but I have unregistered the following:

regsvr32 /u /s shmedia.dll
regsvr32 /u /s licdll.dll
regsvr32 /u /s igfxpph.dll
regsvr32 /u /s msimtf.dll
regsvr32 /u /s msctf.dll

heres a nice utility called "Control Registration Utility" that works very well, it's a GUI front end for Microsoft's REGSVR32, and makes it easy to see whats registered, and then unregister the crap you dont want.
