Program In Add-remove,be Gone!!!

[netnut]

I'm runing Win XP Pro.My guru, who should know better,messed up some programs in such a way that I can't get them out of add-remove in the conventional way.And I can't reinstall them again in order to remove them from add-remove for a clean install because these programs see that a version is stiill there.Do I here the registry beckoning?

Tweak-XP (www.tweak-xp.com)
RegCleaner (www.jv16.org) -- FREE.

can both do what you are trying to do.

In Tweak-XP:

System + File Tweaks
Add/Remove Programs

In RegCleaner:

Simply click "Uninstall menu"

And the registry method

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Just delete the keys corresponding to the software you want to remove.
