Add and Remove Entries that will not go away We have all at sometime or other un-installed a program only to discover that it is still listed in the Add & Remove List And irrespective of how you try it tells you the entry is not there, but will not allow you to delete it. The answer lies in a trip to the Registry So first implement my Tip on the Registry Go to :- Start > Run In the box type without the quotes “ Regedit “ Enter Scroll to :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Uninstall You will have to scroll down the uninstall list to arrive at the alphabetical list and there you will see all the entries which are in the Add & Remove file. Right click on the item/s which you want to remove and select Delete from the drop-down menu.

Now, if you go back to your Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs you should find that now that extra program as disappeared. There is a bonus to this tip Let us say for example that you have a program which you will never un-install and do not want someone else to accidentally un-install it If that is the case follow the tip above and it will remove the entry ( Title ) only Now that has stopped naughty fingers. Do not worry. Deleting the folder will not remove the program. It will only delete its entry in the Add/Remove section of the Control Panel!
