cleaning up the add remove programs folder

[Tony]

Does anyone know a good way to clean the ad remove
programs area. I am running XP Home and it shows every
update I have ever downloaded and I would just like to
clean that up a little. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated. just send to posted email addy. Thanks

Hi Tony,

The following utility by MVP Doug Knox not only removes the entries for the
updates from the Add/Remove programs area, but also removes the backup files
for them.
