I cannot remove the Yahoo Mail line from my list of programs even though I do
not have this program installed. How do I get it off the list?

Did you try to delete this folder ( Icon)? When do not work you must erase the yahoo key from registre. You can find Yahoo in :HKEY_CURRENT_USER ( open ) and after open Softwere , there you will find Yahoo.

I did erase Yahoo from the regedit area and I still can't get rid of the
"Yahoo Mail" line in my list of programs in the Add/Remove window. Do I have
to reboot?

Hi DrGaryG

Open Regedit, navigate to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall]
and click on the + sign to open the key.

You'll need to go through the list to find the offending entry for Yahoo
Mail. Some of the entries will be cryptic sets of numbers and others
will be plain text entries under the name of the program. Check the
"plain" entries first, and if you don't find it there, go back and click
on each of the cryptic entries in turn. You can see which program they
represent by looking at the "Display Name" value in the right-hand pane.

When you find Yahoo Mail, delete its key from the left pane and you
should be all set :)
