Removing Programs listed in the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" Section
By: Arie SlobIf you remove an installed program and its files by deleting the files, it may still be listed in the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. To remove it from the list:
- Start the Registry Editor
- Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall
- Delete the program entry here
- Close the registry editor and restart Windows
Note: This can also be achieved with TweakUI, one of Microsoft's PowerToys
