Add Remove Programs
I've got programs that have already been deleted. How can I remove them from
the Add/Remove Programs list? For these two items it doesn't give me the option of removing them from the list. The wife installed a bunch of games and then deleted just the icon and the recycle bin has been emptied. I'm running Windows XP. Jeff |

You might consider RevoUninstaller. Just be careful on the options you
select. Jeff T. wrote: I've got programs that have already been deleted. How can I remove them from the Add/Remove Programs list?

I'm running Windows XP. Simply deleting the program's icon does not delete the program itself. The program should still be available to be uninstalled via Control Panel. You can try re-installing the program, then uninstalling it via Control Panel if you still have problems. |

Yeah, the wife did it and she didn't uninstall it right.
I tried reinstalling it but I don't know the right one to reinstall so that didn't work. When I try to uninstall it, it gives me a "missing required resourse" error and tells me to reinstall the EXE but.......... "Nil" wrote in message ...

Set up a separate account for your wife with no administrator privileges, put a strong password on your (administrator) account. 2. Trade in wife for one with a brain. |

Separation and divorce are risky business these days. He might end up with each shot having cost him tens or even hundreds of thousands of bucks especially if he is a fairly wealthy man and hasn't been married all that long. -- choro ***** |
