I had installed a game Baldur's gate 2 expansion. Uninstalled the game later
using the shortcut in start menu. The game still shows up in Add/Remove
programs. If I click on remove it goes through the motions to uninstall it
but the listing is still there. I have tried a registry cleaner and that
didn't help. I even went into regedit to try and find any trace of the
program and I can't find anything. Is there any other way to remove this from
the program list?
 
Removing the short cut does not uninstall the program. You get that message
any time you delete a shortcut.
 
To remove items in add/remove programs after program has been deleted or
removed:
click start--run--type in regedit---click OK
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH_Software\Microsoft\windows\current version\uninstall
Highlight and delete.
