Remove programs from uninstall list

Published in Windows XP Tips by Steve Sinchak with 11,450 views and 2 comments

If you deleted a program instead of uninstalling it, most likely the program will still be listed in the windows uninstall list.   Follow the directions below to remove programs from list manually.

  1. Start regedit, if you are unfamiliar with regedit please see our FAQ.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
  3. Delete the folder of the program.

Some entries may also reside in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

MeD's Movie Manager and Google Chrome are two examples.

Are there any other locations where programs may reside? I have a pre-installed trial of Norton Online Backup that I really want to get rid of.
