How do you remove a program showing up from the Add or Remove Programs section?
 
Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the following key:

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

And remove the folder that corresponds to the offending application. Generally the folder holds the same name, but if you are unsure, open the folder and look for a key called “DisplayName” and that will show how it is displayed in the ADD/REMOVE list.
 
Just have to know the right syntax which is hard to think of sometimes :)
 
You can use crap cleaner for this also. Go to tools and click on the item you want to delete. Then, on the right, click delete entry. If you don't have crap cleaner, I, as well as about 3/4 of the people on here, highly recomend it.

thanks for all the help i did not want to install a program for a few reasons. :ninja:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
