Every so often, it happens. You have already uninstalled a program yet it is still showing up in your Add/Remove Programs list. Many people will try to uininstall it again from this list, but that will simply produce an error. The way to remove it once and for all is to remove it from the registry. To do so, go to Start > Run and type in “regedit”. Once in the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Uninstall. In there, you will see a folder for every program shown on your Add/Remove Programs list. Simply find the one you want to go away, right-click on it and choose Delete. Next time you go to Add/Remove Programs, it should be gone.
