Problem:

Clicked on remove and it seemed to uninstall but it is not gone from the add and remove programs list.

If NX is clicked on again, it says it is not there although still visisble.

Resolution:

Clear Unwanted Entries from Add/Remove Programs

Intended For

Windows XP

Windows 2000

Windows Me

Windows 98

Windows 95

In Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, a list of installed applications is displayed for the purpose of easy removal. Unfortunately, but there is no obvious method for removing these entries (either to prevent accidental removal, or if the application was removed some other way) without uninstalling the programs. To remove an entry, do the following:

Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\ SOFTWARE\\ Microsoft\\ Windows\\ CurrentVersion\\ Uninstall, and remove any unwanted keys under "Uninstall."
