Cannot remove program name from Add/Remove list

[Tony]

I recently uninstalled a program using Add/Remove Programs
option from Control Panel. The program uninstalled but
the program name remained on the Add/Remove Progams list.
How do I take it off?

Tony,

To remove orphaned entries from the Add/Remove applet in Control Panel in
Windows 2000/XP,

Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Make sure you backup the keys by exporting them to a .reg file.
Look for the name of the program with the orphaned entry.
Delete the entire listing for the software with the orphaned entry.
Close the registry editor.
Restart your computer.
