Addding and Removing Programs

[thegreat]

I uninstalled a program and somehow the name of the
program is still in the add remove programs menu. Very
Annoying! HELP PLEASE

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

Hi,

Start/run regedit, navigate here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

Look for the subkey below this branch that represents that program and
delete it.

If you select a program that has already been uninstalled and click the
Remove button, you should be prompted to remove the entry for the program
from the list. If this does not work as described, you can remove the entry
by performing a registry edit.

Go to Start/Run, type: regedit and click OK.

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

Each program listed in Add/Remove Programs will have a sub-key listed here.
Locate the correct sub-key for the program in question, right click it, then
select Delete.
