Remove a program in the Uninstall Programs List. Help.

I have permanently deleted a program manually (Bethesda\Fallout 2) but before I just found out it had an uninstall option in the Uninstall Program List in the control panel. Now my problem is how can I manually remove the Program (Fallout 2) from the Uninstall Program List so that it would not show up. Thanks!

My specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad
7 GB Ram
Ultimate VISTA 64bit SP2
160 HDD
512MB 8900 Nvidia Geforce

Install the application
Launch the application
Look for Bethesda\Fallout 2 and remove it/them.

The application you have provided me did not detect Fallout 2 or Bethesda.

Mr Google helped me find the following for XP...If it doesn't work for Vista it should steer you in the right direction.

How to manually remove programs from the Add or Remove Programs tool

You can also download and install Revo Uninstaller. It works pretty good uninstalling bad installs, or programs no longer installed but still in the add-remove programs list.

CCleaner also has that function, as well as a slew of other very useful ones.
