I have a program in my Add or Remove Program list that I
cannot remove. I click on the item and all I get is the
size of the file, last used on and used occasionaly info,
there are no buttons that say "change" or "remove". I
have tried the knowledge base article #314481 but I do
not see the program listed in the registry. How do I
remove the program from the list?

Sincerely,
dewhitten
 
I don't suppose the listing is at the bottom of the window? Does scrolling
downwards reveal the Change/Remove box?
 
DEW,

Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Look for the name of the program and select the program.
In the right-pane, see if you have an 'Uninstall String' entry.

Copy the contents of the Uninstall String value and type it in Start/Run.
This uninstalls the program.
