204027 2003-12-29 22:28:00 In Windows XP

I have a number of programs that are under my add/remove list but there is no way of removing them from there,

they have no uninstall or remove option, they are just listed, with no way of removing them..


How can I?

Thanks

A word of warning, if tempted to try the other functions, DON'T use the duplicates or unnecessary functios. They may cause problems. The others are quite safe.

What are some of the programs you want to remove that don't have an uninstall option? Usually the only things that appear in add/remove that don't have the uninstall option are the Windows XP hotfixes which shouldn't be removed anyway.

Er..... my Hotfixes have an option to be removed. :-)

What programs would these be?
