    Cleaning up the add/remove program list

    I have several programs listed which may have been removed incorrectly. When I click on them it says that they cannot be detected. Is there anyway to remove the program listing from the menu? Thanks.

    If you're comfortable in the registry go to;

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

    and delete the appropriate entries/keys.

    Standard caveat: Make a backup before changes.

    If you're comfortable in the registry, I would think the entries would be here;

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

    Standard caveat: Backup and keys or the entire registry before altering it.
