Where in the registry can i remove listing in the Add Remove Programs List.
I tried to uninstall a software and it would uninstall and now i deleted the
folders that the software created. I want to now go in the registry and
remove the entry so it doesn't show up in add remove programs.

Try uninstalling the program again via Add or Remove Programs. With the
files gone it should generate an error and then prompt if you would like
to remove the entry from that list. If it doesn't, the entries are
stored in the registry under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
