Program STILL shows in Add or Remove Programs

[Guest]

Hi ! I edited my registry as explained in Microsoft article to remove a
program from "Add or Remove Programs". But the program still shows up?
There is no registry key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

I am at a loss now!!??

I guess I answered my own question....I did a registry search with the EXACT
name as listed in add or remove programs and found an entry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\INSTALLSHIELD_{ long number }

After deleting this key the entry is gone... Do not know why, though??
