Getting rid of listing in add/remove

[nycdude]

Hi all,

I am using winxp pro and there is possibly a program or two in the add/ remove in the control panel that I want remove. The program has already been uninstalled but it still lists it there. It could be something freaky when I upgraded to xp from 98 without doing a clean install. 🙁

There used to be a way to remove it in win98 through tweakui but I don't see that in the xp edition.

Any thoughts.

Thanks.

If you click on Change/Remove and it does not find the program it should give you the option of removing it from the list.

You can also use RegCleaner

No option to remove it from the list.

Any other thoughts besides the regcleaner????

LMK

Use "Regedit" or in XP "Regedt32"
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Uninstall"-find the listing in the "Uninstall" folder that corresponds to the program that you are trying to remove from the list, delete that listing only and it will be gone from the "Add Remove Programs" list.
