Default Automatic Uninstallation

Does anyone know of a program that can automatically uninstall like 15 programs and is portable through a pen drive?

Here's some background of what i'm using it for...

I work for Geek Squad. When we get new PC sales (from the Best Buy sales floor), there are a bunch of junky programs, like BigFix, and quite a few games that come setup on the machines. We offer a service to remove them, and I want to make it a tad easier on myself, so I can go afk while its removing the programs.

So basically I need a program that I can setup to remove certain programs, and it needs to be smaller than 400MB (remaining room on my pen drive). Please let me know if anyone knows of any programs out there, or of a way to do it myself.

Thanks,

Nope. This program is merely a GUI for the Add/Remove Programs manager. I'm looking for a program that will know what programs to remove (specified by myself) and then do so automatically.

Also as I was thinking... There may be another solution. Is there a program that can give me the registry keys and locations of files for a program? That way I can code a batch file to do the removals for me by just deleting the registry keys and deleting the files.

Help is much appreciated.
