Quick ME question - removing deleted programs from Add/Remove

Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove some programs on the "Add/Remove Programs" list that have actually been deleted but not officially installed and are thus listed on the system registry?

Thanks!

EasyCleaner can make it easy to do.

Thanks, it's worked nicely for removing those programs from the Add/Remove list

Before I "Delete All" dead-end files on the registry however, it reccomends backing it up. How exactly would I go about doing that? Thanks again!

Go to Start/Run/type regedit, click the Registry button at the top, go to export, save & name to where and whatever you want. Be sure All is checked.
