I used a 3rd party program once to remove a relic program
listing from Control Panel|Add or Remove Programs. Worked
slick. What is the name of that program. Darned if I can
find it.

TIA

You're probably thinking about the old version of Tweak UI. Unfortunatly the
new version for xp doesn't have this feature anymore. To clear/delete add
remove entires:
First try going into add/remove, click on the left over entry and choose
remove/uninstall. XP should see it's not there anymore and remove it.

If it does not then goto: start, type in regedit, hit enter.

Navigate to this key:

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\curr ent version\uninstall

Expand the key to see it's sub folders, then delete the ones you don't need.
(you can export them before delete to be safe if you want).
