Every COM entry is refered to by it's GUID in the registry. So to find all references to your entry, just right clic/properties (in DCOMCNFG), get the guid, and run a search in regedit.

You will find, at least: - HKCR\AppID{GUID} - HKCR\CLSID{GUID}

Additionnal entries / replacement in Wow6432Node, display name, and DLL-specific registration, everything can be found using the GUID.

I recommend to be very careful about deleting those entries though.
