Hi, This might be difficult to explain, but I'll try my hardest. When you go to 'Add or Remove Programs', you see images of all programs on your system. It is possible to delete those programs manually by going into your hard-drive and finding the file etc. But the image still remains on 'Add or Remove Programs', is there anyway how to delete them, and how do you do it?
Thanks

Always look for UNINSTALL first.
Good Luck.

erm.....its a wee bit too late for that, do you know how to remove the symbol?

Reinstalling the program - to the same directory, then, uninstalling the "normal" way might remove it.

I think the information that compiles that list is stored in the registry. But fiddling with that can be virtually fatal.

Get this program:http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/archives/reg-cleaner4.3.htm


Then there is a menu called "Uninstall Menu" that lets you remove those programs that are already installed but haven't been deleted from add/remove.

I recommend downloading that. Its pretty helpful at keeping your registry junk free.
