| Add and Remove Program Help
Im using Windows XP, I went to the add and remove program and uninstalled a software, but the software still remains on the add and remove content, although uninstalled in my harddrive. Is there any way to remove it from the add and remove program content? Thanks!

See if there still is a reference to the program in windows explorer/ program files and delete that. |

Thanks, but I still am having trouble looking for the software in the registry. It doesnt seem to be there or it has a different name. I've checked all the listed softwares for uninstall.

for anyone who who happens to find this in a search, you can download crapcleaner from mysite at http://kevinscorner.meta-cortechs.com and the install it. run it and click tools up top and you can rename or remove things in the add/remove control panel from right there. much easer than in the registry  . |
