    I have a couple of programs showing in the Add/Remove part of the
    control panel. When i try to uninstall them, it says it cannot find the
    uninstall program.

    There used to be a popup asking if i wanted to have them removed but
    that dont happen now (for some reason).

    Question: How do i remove these uninstallable programs from the CP?

    thanks,
    savagcl

    You can also user Regedit and drill to:
    HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Uninstall/PROGRAM NAME

    delete the dir, logoff & logon (or reboot) & the item will be removed from Add Remove Pgms.

    (always good idea to backup (File Menu/Export) registry items prior to deleting them)
