Add remove programs ????

patoinsf · 2005-01-13 18:41:12

Is there a simple way to edit the list of programs in the add remove programs dialog box. There are several programs that are no longer on my system but are still showing up on the list. I am running XP but have the same problem on my Sons computer running windows 98. Appreciate any help offered.

Try Regedit?

Start/Run/Regedit

goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Remove the app/s from here. Backup reg before hand....just incase!
I warned ya.
Reboot.

Same should apply to XP and Win98 I think.
