Hi,

I am trying to get rid of some of the programs that I do not offten use on
my computer, so I went to the add/remove program. A lot of stuff on my
computer i have not used in a while according to the info in the last used
section. I went into some of the programs just to see the response I would
get from the last used section of the add/remove program. The info did not
update. I was expecting it to show the current date that used the program,
but it did not. any answers why?

Thanks in advance
 
As Alan said. In addition, you should be able to force an update using a
registry editing procedure.

Note: Backup your registry first, just in case.

It doesn't update like that.
