my computer add remove prog.

[lost in spac_]

Sometimes when i uninstall a program in add or remove
programs, the name of the program remains.Even after
searching for the said file I get no files found on system.
I went to regedit found it there deleted it but it's still
there. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

First try going into add/remove, click on the left over entry and choose
remove/uninstall. XP should see it's not there anymore and remove it. If it
does not then goto: start, type in regedit, hit enter.

Navigate to this key:

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\uninstall

Expand the key to see it's sub folders, then delete the ones you don't need.
(you can export them before delete to be safe if you want).
