Add/Remove Entries From the Add/Remove Programs List:

This explains how to remove those annoying entries in the Add/Remove programs list. I commonly delete the folder from the directory and I am left with a non-removable entry in the Add/Remove programs list.

1. From the Start button, run Regedit
2. select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. select Software
4. select Microsoft
5. select Windows
6. select Current Version
7. select Uninstall This will give you a list of all the programs in your Add/Remove programs list. Highlight the file and select delete. This will remove the entry from the list.

Hey SecureITGroup, That's been an annoyance for one of my workstations at the office for sometime. I knew it was probably something fairly easy, but never really made an effort to look it up. Now it appears I don't have to. Thanks for posting that for sure!

hey secureIT, that method is nice. I used to have to use tweakxp or some other similar tweak to delete those not-existing programs entries.
