Removal of 16 bit program

[fenton seeto]

I installed a 16 bit program incorrectly and it starts
everytime with Windows. Every time I exit from Windows,
the wowexec.exe program remains in memory. How can I
remove this installation? I can not see it in the
add/remove prgram?

translation program. It invokes their executable which is
a 16 bit program. As such, win2000 starts the wowexec.exe
to enhance performance. However, when you try to look for
the entry of the executable in window's registry, it is
nowhere to be found...

Many 16 bit programs don't use the registry at all. Look for ini files.
