XP Home Edition Add/Delete Programs

[Guest]

I cannot Add/Delete programs for the Control Panel/Add Delete Programs
section in XP Home Edition? I can see the programs but there is no
availibility to delete. I have never used Home Edition before, so i am
guessing there is another method?

Are you using an Administrator account to uninstall programs?

If you have administrator privileges go to the registry. Go to start>run and
type regedit32 and click OL. There look for these key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Each key listed under Uninstall in the left pane of Registry Editor
represents a program that is displayed in the Currently installed programs
list of the Add or Remove Programs . To determine which program that each key
represents, click the key, and then view the following values in the details
pane on the right:

DisplayName: The value data for the DisplayName key is the name that is
listed in Add or Remove Programs.

I hope it helps.
