I need help to remove a program from the ADD/REMOVE
program list. The program has been deleated but I would
like to remove it from the ADD?REMOVE list.

I have tried to use TweakUI but I have not been
successful.

Anyone have suggestions to remove the application from
the list?

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

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

Each subkey in this branch represents an installed program. Locate the one
in question, right click it and select Export. This creates a backup that
can be reimported if you find you've removed the wrong one. Then right
click it and select Delete. The entry will be gone from add/remove.
