Add/Remove Programs

Postby ozzy72 » Mon Oct 03, 2005 2:44 am

A strange one here, I'm running XP with SP2. I was looking in Add/Remove Programs and some stuff I uninstalled quite a while back still appears on the list :o Now the software uninstalled okay but I can't get these names off the list, any ideas?

Yes there are a number of freeware programs that will remove listings or you can do it by diving into the registry if you dare, I needed to do this a number of times.

I've tried a few registry cleaners to no avail and I can't find the entries in the registry itself....
This is going to be a tough one :o

Yeah some registry enteries are difficult to find, try looking for specific names, such as the program, the manufacturer etc. I had found listings for the same program listed numerous times but using various combinations of names.

If you can what is the name of the program that you need the listing removed? I may be able to help narrow your search ;)
