ADD/REMOVE

[Guest]

I recently installed a few Sims expansion packs and then i deleted all the
files.
When i go to Add/Remove programs, they are still listed in there (with 0
MB)......When i click on them to remove..............nothing happens. I have
removed ALL Sims files from my computer manually.....so how do i remove the
programs from the Add/Remove???

Sheree;
Deleting the files it not the correct way.
Reinstall the uninstall through Add/Remove Programs to properly and more
completely remove a program.

It was accidental that the files were deleted.....I no longer have the CD to
reinstal and uninstal anything. There must be a way to remove these names
from my Add/Remove programs list.

This link to Add/Remove Master might interest you. One of its features is
to remove entries in the Add/Remove list when the program no longer exists.

Perhaps burdensome, but tiss a way to get rid of the registry entries,
assuming the uninstall covers that.
