How to remove programs not on your active drive?

[hito]

I have two drives, both 80gigs. (C: and D.

I have some programs on the D: drive that I would like to remove. However, when I head on over to control panel it only shows the programs on the C: drive. Is there a way for the programs on the D: to show up on control panel or at least gain access to them? Operating system on the C: is win98, and on the D: win2k. gonna replace the win98 on the c drive with win2k soon, and just want to use the D: as storage or backup.

Apparently you never installed those programs so they are not registered. There are some self-contained programs that work fine that way. Removing them is simply a matter of deleting them.

If you want them to be registered in Windows, you can reinstall them over themselves on D, and then they will show up in Add/Remove Programs.

Ooops! Sorry - I didn't notice you had a separate OS on D. OK - that changes my answer - you have to run W2K from D and then you can remove those programs in ITS control panel. That is probably where they are registered.

Thanks for the reply

Was just hoping that there was another way to remove them other than going into the other OS. Well, guess not

Sure, you can remove them as I stated - but then the registry of the other OS would be screwed up.
