Add or Remove Programs ?

[Roger]

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).

Yep and couldn't find the one that I was looking for unless
it was the "Add/Remove Programs Cleaner which seems not to
be available any longer.

Possibly was the old Tweak UI as it was quite a while ago.

If it's already uninstalled, though, would the uninstall for
that program still be in that registry area?

If the uninstall didn't work right or just didn't delete the key it could
still be in that area of the registry even if you uninstalled it.
