Add & Remove List

[Stan]

I uninstalled MS Office 2007 but it is still listed in Add & Remove. When I
click on Remove nothing happens. How can I delete it from this list? Thanks.

You can remove from the registry here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Create a System Restore point before doing this!

If you don't feel comfortable editing the Registry, you can do it with
this freeware:

Pegasus,
I followed your instructions carefully several times but MS Office 2007 was
not listed there.
Any other suggestions?

Basically the same instructions - the first has you doing a bit more backup.

Karl,
Microsoft gave me the same instructions and still Office is not listed
there. Thanks anyway.

Shenan,
I tried all the suggestions with no luck but when I opened the first link
you suggested, I found a link to a free tool called
HideAddRemoveItems by Novell Cool Solutions and that worked like a charm. I
am tickled pink because that and a few other entries annoyed me for over a
year now. These were uninstalled programs that should not have remained
listed. Thanks a million to all who tried to help. This is a great group.

Ramesh,
Thanks for the additional input but my problem has been solved as explained
in a previous reply. I had already tried going into the registry but when I
got to the Uninstall folder the problem entries just weren't there. However
the Novell software did remove those entries. Also another problem entry was
removed by using ccleaner.
