To get into the registry enter regedit in the Run dialogue box. If you are not familiar with editing the reg I suggest you bone up a bit on it first as taking out an appendix instead of a gall bladder can have calamitous effects on the patient!	Guest (0)

An easy way to do this is oopen regedit as outlined, then click Registry>Export Registry File Give the file a name and save it in a handy location. This way, if you delete the wrong files by accident you can easily retreive them. G P	Guest (0)

Notice all the programs around it. Then inside the registry search for that program and you'll find a place that displays exactly the same stuff in your add/remove box. Delete that and then close the registry and the add/remove box. Reopen it and it should be there. I forget most the registry entries as there are a lot to deal with so I just search for them.
