Ever uninstall a program in Windows but it still shows up in
Add/Remove Program?
Here's how to remove it.
Start Registry Editor (Start > Run and type in regedit)
Locate this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Find the program, usually they have a similar name. For example,
you just uninstalled Winzip, but the entry is stuck at Add/Remove
Programs.
Locate Winzip under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
Right click and select Delete.
Once done, delete all Winzip files and folders.
What if you can't find your program? Easy. Go to C:\Program
Files.
For example, Sunbelt Kerio Firewall. You will notice a Kerio folder
within the Sunbelt folder (if you have installed everything to
their default settings). That is most probably the name in the
registry as well.
You will find Sunbelt Software under Uninstall instead. Using the
same method that you delete Winzip, delete Sunbelt key.
I bear no
responsibility if you crash Windows. Do everything at your own
risk. Don't know, ask.
