Add/Remove Programs

[Randy]

I have an orphan program in my Add/Remove Programs. I used the Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article to remove it from the registry.

It did remove something, the Change and Remove buttons. The program still
sits there.

Any help?

BTW. I still have the registry key from the KB Article on my desktop.

Thanks Wes.

This is the KB Article I mentioned in my OP. After following the directions
in the Article, the entry in A/RP remains.

Randy,

If that application uses Windows Installer, try this utility:

a thought.
